Texas New Business Leads - Sales Tax Permit Holders

Get brand-new Texas businesses from the Texas Comptroller's official Active Sales Tax Permit Holders file on data.texas.gov (about 890k active outlets, refreshed daily). 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 business just opened.

Each result includes:

• business (outlet) name and legal taxpayer name, taxpayer number and outlet number
• organization type (LLC, corporation, sole owner, partnership...)
• permit issue date and first sales date
• NAICS industry code
• outlet address, city, ZIP, county code, inside/outside city limits
• taxpayer mailing address

Results are newest permit first. No API key, no CAPTCHA. Pricing: $0.002 per business + $0.0001 start.
