Rules that apply to a Crawford business website

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to many Crawford businesses:

• Texas has no state-level general license, but city and county permits still apply, so check the local county and city government where the business operates. In Crawford, that means asking McLennan County and the Town of Crawford. Official source
• A sole proprietor or general partnership that operates under a name other than the owner’s legal name files an assumed name certificate with the county clerk where the business premise is kept; a corporation or LLC that uses another name files its assumed name certificate with the Secretary of State. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 71
• Texas charges a 6.25% state sales and use tax, and local jurisdictions may add up to 2%, for a maximum combined rate of 8.25%. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
