Texas and federal rules for small business websites

These are some of the Texas and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• 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 Newark, that means asking Wise County and the City of Newark. Official source
• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
• 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. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
