About Texas Tax Truth
A reference on Texas tax rates and filings, built so that every number on the site can be traced to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts or to the Texas Tax Code.
What we do
We publish Texas sales, property and franchise tax information and maintain calculators that apply official rate files rather than national averages. Archived captures show that this domain hosted an earlier Texas Tax Truth policy site in 2013–2015. The current edition is a separate rebuild published in 2026 around primary data. The archive history is not a claim that the current publisher or operator has continuously run the site since 2013, or that the current edition is the same organization as the historical publisher.
What we are not
- We are not the Texas Comptroller, the Legislature, or any state agency. We do not collect tax, set rates or appraise property.
- We are not a law firm or a CPA practice. Nothing here is legal, tax or accounting advice for a specific person or situation.
- We do not sell tax services, and no carrier, software vendor or preparer pays for coverage.
Advertising and editorial independence
The site may display third-party advertising to help fund its operation. Advertising, when enabled, is separate from the selection of tax topics, the interpretation of source documents and the conclusions in editorial content. The site does not sell paid editorial coverage or accept payment from a tax authority, software vendor or tax preparer to influence a rate, ranking or recommendation.
How the site is built
The calculators read two datasets: the Comptroller's city sales-and-use-tax rate file for combined sales rates, and the Statewide Report of Tax Rates for county, city and school district property rates. Both are downloaded by a build script, parsed without modification, and shipped as static JSON. When the Comptroller publishes a new file, the site is rebuilt and the version note on each tool changes.
