What is the state general sales tax rate for Texas?

Question

I would also like to know the local general sales tax rate for Texas.

Answer 1

Simple suggestion... look at a receipt from a local Wal-Mart. They print the tax rate on there. The state rate is 6.25%, so anything over that amount is the local rate.

The reason I suggest this is that local rates vary sometimes from county to county, in Texas.

Answer 2

Here is a list of local sales tax rates by city/county.
