Texas lawmakers push general sales tax amid reforms and budget shifts
A Texas sales tax plan would cost the average family about 25 to 30 dollars yearly while delivering 320 million over two years to fund state operations. The package also raises corporate franchise tax, drivers license fees, and fuel taxes, with additional levies on abandoned property and private clubs. Governor Daniel touted partial escheat gains, while a Gatesville reform aims to strengthen discipline and security at the boys school. The Legislative Council, House, and state agencies debate brand inspections, age bias, urban transport, and evacuation planning.
