A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Texas rules as any other.

• A contact form collects personal information, and Texas has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Section 521.053
• 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 Silverton, that means asking Briscoe County and the City of Silverton. 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
