5.5.4. TAX ON INTERNET SALES
Texas sales and use tax applies to taxable items (tangible personal property and taxable services) on orders taken via the Internet when shipped or delivered to a purchaser in Texas. Texas sales tax should not be assessed on taxable items shipped or delivered by the seller to a location outside of Texas. Local sales tax is based on the seller’s place of business.
