The businesses that compete for customers in Pottsboro

The Census counted 142 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 75076, which includes Pottsboro and its surroundings. Some of the local businesses in that count:

• Marinas: 3. Their website should show slips, services, fuel dock hours and a map, with a contact form for availability.
• Tax preparation offices: 4. Their website should show your services, what documents to bring, seasonal hours and a contact form.
• Electrical contractors: 5. Their website should show residential and commercial work on separate pages, photos of real jobs and an easy way to ask for an estimate.
• Full-service restaurants: 5. Their website should show a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.

In Grayson County, the Census counted 2,899 businesses with employees and 13,153 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Grayson County has 1.9 times the national share of building material and garden stores: 47 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, contractors and homeowners check stock and hours, so the website should show departments, brands, delivery options and hours by season. Among Pottsboro residents who work, the largest fields are manufacturing (11.1%) and transportation, warehousing and utilities (7.9%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Rules that apply to a Pottsboro business website

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• 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
• Check with both Grayson County and the Town of Pottsboro about local business tax receipts before opening. Official source
• 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
