The legal basics for Wheeler businesses online

Some homework before launch:

• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? Texas calls that an assumed name certificate (DBA), and it has to be registered first. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 71
• 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
• 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 Wheeler, that means asking Wheeler County and the City of Wheeler. Official source
