Running a website from Cuero: the Texas rules
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these apply to most Cuero businesses:
- DeWitt County and the City of Cuero may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source
- 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
- Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
- The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) exists, but its thresholds are high: The chapter reaches a person who does business in Texas or sells products or services consumed by Texans, processes or sells personal data, and is NOT a small business under the United States Small Business Administration definition. A typical small business is therefore outside the main obligations, but Section 541.107 still applies to it: a small business may not sell sensitive personal data without the consumer’s prior consent. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 541 (HB 4, 88th Legislature, 2023)
This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Texas agencies, DeWitt County, the city of Cuero or an attorney.
