What Texas asks of a business with a website

Having a website brings no special license, but a few apply to most Wickett businesses:

• A sole proprietor or general partnership that operates under a name other than the owner’s legal name files an assumed name certificate with the county clerk where the business premise is kept; a corporation or LLC that uses another name files its assumed name certificate with the Secretary of State. 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 Wickett, that means asking Ward County and the Town of Wickett. Official source
