In Tarrant County, the Census counted 47,656 businesses with employees and 227,943 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Tarrant County leans toward oil and gas producers (100 establishments, four times the national share). In that business, operators and suppliers vet contractors carefully, and the website should show your capabilities, safety record and the fields or basins you work in. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Texas rules to know before your website goes live

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Watauga businesses:

• 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 Watauga, that means asking Tarrant County and the City of Watauga. 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
• The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) rarely reaches a local business: 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)
• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
