Paperwork and rules for Texas businesses online
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Texas rules as any other.
- 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
- A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
- 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 Hubbard, that means asking Hill County and the City of Hubbard. Official source
