Paperwork and rules for Texas businesses online

Having a website does not change the rules, but a few apply to many Lamesa businesses:

• 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)
• 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
• Local business tax receipts in Texas can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Dawson County and Lamesa. Official source
