What Texas asks of a business with a website

Some homework before launch:

• A sole proprietor or general partnership that operates under a name other than the owner’s legal name files an assumed name certificate with the county clerk where the business premise is kept; a corporation or LLC that uses another name files its assumed name certificate with the Secretary of State. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 71
• Check with both Denton County and the City of Oak Point about local business tax receipts before opening. 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

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
