What is monitored

Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts publishes the loaded sales tax chart for Texas.

The in-force chart is Q4 2026 (October–December), effective October 1 – December 31, 2026. The loaded file is a text file.

The loaded file has 3703 jurisdiction rows.

A refresh fails closed. When the file cannot be read, or two readings disagree, the period is blocked and no rate is filled in.

How the chart is checked

A refresh fails closed. When the file cannot be read, or two readings disagree, the period is blocked and no rate is filled in.

Nothing in this note is estimated. When a displayed figure disagrees with the official publication, the publication wins. That rule is recorded under corrections.

Rate monitoring is not a tax calculation

This note reports how the Texas publication is monitored. It does not calculate tax on a cart, invoice, ZIP code, or address, and it does not file a return.

Monitor Texas

Monitoring follows the official publication. The sample report shows the shape of a change row.
