Texas rules to know before your website goes live

Some homework before launch:

• 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 Lake Tanglewood, that means asking Randall County and the Village of Lake Tanglewood. 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
• 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

This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Texas agencies, Randall County, the village of Lake Tanglewood or an attorney.
