Invoicing in Texas — What Businesses Typically Include
The information below is a general overview of common invoicing practice in Texas. It is not legal or tax advice — for guidance specific to your business, consult an accountant or refer to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts at comptroller.texas.gov.
Sales Tax in Texas
Texas's state sales tax rate is 6.25%. Local cities, counties, and transit authorities can add up to 2%, bringing the maximum combined rate to 8.25% in major cities including Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth. Unlike many states, Texas taxes certain services as well as tangible goods — notably data processing and information services, internet access (with exemptions), security services, and some personal services. Most professional and consulting services are not taxable. If you're unsure whether your services are subject to Texas sales tax, the Texas Comptroller's website provides detailed guidance by industry.
No State Income Tax
One of Texas's most significant advantages for freelancers and small business owners is that it has no state income tax. Self-employed individuals and business owners don't file a separate state income tax return. This means your income is only subject to federal tax — including self-employment tax (15.3% on net self-employment income) and federal income tax brackets. Texas does impose a franchise tax (also called the Texas Margin Tax) on businesses, but sole proprietors are generally exempt, and the threshold for LLCs and corporations is relatively high.
Business Structures in Texas
Texas businesses can operate as sole proprietors, LLCs, S-Corporations, or C-Corporations. Sole proprietors need only a DBA (Assumed Name Certificate) filing with their county if trading under a business name other than their own. LLCs are filed with the Texas Secretary of State. Texas has no annual LLC franchise tax under $1.18 million in revenue (the no-tax-due threshold), making it one of the more LLC-friendly states for small businesses.
The Texas Business Economy
Texas has one of the fastest-growing economies in the US — home to a booming tech sector in Austin, major energy, construction, and logistics industries, and a large population of freelancers, contractors, and small business owners across every city. Whether you're a Houston-based energy consultant, an Austin tech contractor, a Dallas creative freelancer, or a small business anywhere in the state, BooInvoice gives you a fast, free way to invoice professionally.

Questions from Texas Users
Everything you need to know about using BooInvoice as a Texas freelancer, sole proprietor, or small business
Do I need to charge sales tax on my Texas invoices?
It depends on what you're providing. Texas's state sales tax rate is 6.25%, and local additions can bring the combined rate up to 8.25% in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. Texas sales tax applies to tangible goods and certain services — including some digital services, data processing, and IT services. Pure professional services like consulting, legal, and accounting are generally not taxable. If you provide taxable services or sell physical products, you'll need a Texas Sales and Use Tax Permit from the Texas Comptroller's office.
What should a Texas invoice include?
A professional Texas invoice should include your business name and address, your Texas Tax ID or EIN (for 1099 purposes), a unique invoice number, the invoice date and payment due date, your client's name and address, a clear description of the goods or services, your fees or rates, and the total amount due. If you collect Texas sales tax, include your Comptroller permit number and show the tax amount as a separate line.
Is BooInvoice free for Texas businesses?
Yes — completely free. You can create unlimited invoices, upload your logo, and download professional PDFs without paying anything.
Does Texas have a state income tax?
No — Texas has no state income tax, which makes it one of the most tax-friendly states for freelancers and self-employed individuals. You're still responsible for federal self-employment tax and income tax to the IRS, but you have no separate Texas income tax filing obligation.
Can I invoice clients in other states or countries?
Yes. BooInvoice supports USD and many other currencies. Texas-based businesses frequently invoice clients across the US and internationally — simply set the currency to match your agreement with your client.
