Texas rules to know before your website goes live

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

• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? Texas calls that an assumed name certificate (DBA), and it has to be registered first. 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
• 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 Hooks, that means asking Bowie County and the City of Hooks. Official source
