Running a website from Hart: the Texas rules

Having a website brings no special license, but these apply to most Hart businesses:

• The name on your website and your sign has to be either your legal name or a registered assumed name certificate (DBA). Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 71
• 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 Hart, that means asking Castro County and the City of Hart. 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

This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Texas agencies, Castro County, the city of Hart or an attorney.
