  • Calculating Texas Sales Tax Texas Residents Are Required to Pay 6.25% Sales Tax to the State of Texas When Purchasing a Vehicle
    Travis County Tax Office Calculating Texas Sales Tax Texas residents are required to pay 6.25% sales tax to the state of Texas when purchasing a vehicle. If sales tax was paid in another state, the vehicle owner will get credit for the sales tax already paid on the vehicle and will pay the difference between the rates when titling the vehicle in Texas. Use the following to determine how much is owed: Proof of Sales Tax Paid Sales Tax Due Bill of sale includes an itemized sales tax No sales tax is due to the state of Texas. Provide collection that is 6.25% or more proof of sales tax paid by submitting the itemized bill of sale. Bill of sale is not itemized or no sales tax has Sales tax is calculated using the following formula: been paid to the state where the vehicle was (Vehicle Price – Trade in Value) x 6.25%. purchased Example: The vehicle was purchased for $29,500 and there was a trade in value of $5,400. Step 1: Calculate the amount subject to tax 29,500 – 5,400 = 24,100 Step 2: Multiply the result by .0625% 24,100 x .0625 Sales Tax Due in Texas = $1,506.25 Provide proof of sales tax paid by submitting the itemized bill of sale along with $1,506.25. Bill of sale includes an itemized sales tax Sales tax is calculated using the following formula: collection that is less than 6.25% (Vehicle Price - Trade in Value) x (6.25% - percent paid to your state) Example: The vehicle was purchased for $29,500 and there was a trade in value of $5,400.

When soaked in water its seeds form a gelatinous mass that can be flavored with fruit and spices and consumed as a cooling drink. The sprouted seeds are eaten in salads, sandwiches, soups, and stews, or ground into a high protein meal used in breads, biscuits, and cakes. Glass Gem Corn Impossibly beautiful popcorn comes in an endless rainbow of colors: pink, lavender, green, yellow, purple, white and orange to name a few! Translucent kernels really do shine brilliantly like glass—on the cob they resemble strands of pearlescent beads! The 3-8" ears are highly decorative, but edible and delicious as well and make firm little morsels when popped. They can also be parched or ground into meal. Sturdy plants reach to 9' in height. Bred from a number of Native varieties by Carl "White Eagle" Barnes, the famous Cherokee corn collector whose life work has been collecting, preserving and sharing many Native corn varieties. 15290 Coleman Valley Road, Occidental, CA 95465 Phone (707) 874-1557 • Fax (707) 874-1558 www.oaec.org BASILS PESTO BASILS Mammoth Huge wide leaves, twice as large as other Italian basils.

  • August 13, 2021 the Honorable Greg Abbott the Honorable Mike Morath
    THE SECRETARY OF EDUCATION WASHINGTON, DC 20202 August 13, 2021 The Honorable Greg Abbott The Honorable Mike Morath Governor Commissioner The Capitol Texas Education Agency PO Box 12428 1701 N. Congress Avenue Austin, TX 78711 Austin, TX 78701 Dear Governor Abbott and Commissioner Morath: As the new school year begins in school districts across Texas, it is our shared priority that students return to in-person instruction safely. The safe return to in-person instruction requires that school districts be able to protect the health and safety of students and educators, and that families have confidence that their schools are doing everything possible to keep students healthy. Texas’s recent actions to block school districts from voluntarily adopting science-based strategies for preventing the spread of COVID-19 that are aligned with the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) puts these goals at risk and may infringe upon a school district’s authority to adopt policies to protect students and educators as they develop their safe return to in-person instruction plans required by Federal law. We are aware that Texas has issued an Executive Order prohibiting local educational agencies (LEAs), among other local government entities, from adopting requirements for the universal wearing of masks.1 Further, guidance released on August 5, 2021, by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) states that “school systems are not required to conduct COVID-19 contact tracing.”2 These State level actions against science-based strategies for preventing the spread of COVID-19 appear to restrict the development of local health and safety policies and are at odds with the school district planning process embodied in the U.S.
