Texas New Business Leads: new sales tax permits (LLCs & corporations)

Get brand-new Texas businesses from the official Texas Comptroller "Active Sales Tax Permit Holders" open data on data.texas.gov. Every business that sells taxable goods or services in Texas needs a sales tax permit, so new permits are one of the earliest public signals that a new store, restaurant, salon, shop or service business is opening.

Each result has the business (taxpayer) name, location (outlet) name, permit issue date, first sales date, NAICS industry code, organization type, city, ZIP and street address.

No browser, no proxies, no login. Runs take seconds.

Who uses this

• Merchant services, POS and payments sales teams (new restaurants: NAICS 722).
• Commercial insurance agents and business banking.
• Accountants, bookkeepers and payroll providers.
• Food, beverage and retail suppliers and distributors.
• Local marketing agencies, sign makers and web designers looking for new openings in Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio.

Privacy by design

• Sole proprietors are excluded (organization type "individual" is filtered out at the source, and general partnerships without a company name are dropped).
• Output is LLCs, corporations, limited partnerships, nonprofits and other registered organizations only.
