Texas rules to know before your website goes live

Some homework before launch:

• 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)
• Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465
• Check with both Ellis County and the Town of Palmer 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
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Texas’ is $500,000 or more in total Texas revenue in the preceding twelve calendar months (sellers below that stay inside the safe harbor). 34 Tex. Admin. Code Section 3.286
