LICENSES & PERMITS
Overview
The 2019 Texas Business Permits and Licenses Guide is provided by the Business Permit Office
within the Office of the Governor*s Economic Development and Tourism Division. The Business
Permit Office, established in accordance with Subchapter H, Chapter 481 of the Texas Government
Code, is responsible for providing comprehensive information on permits required for business
enterprises in the state and for making that information available to applicants and other persons.
This comprehensive permit guide offers a listing of state permits that may be required for persons
desiring to operate a business enterprise in the state. To the greatest extent possible, the content
of this handbook has been organized to align with the requirements of Texas Government, Section
481.125, and is intended to offer a current listing of state-level permit information according to
the types of businesses affected. We hope that you will find the 2018 edition of the permit guide
useful in guiding you to the appropriate state resources that can address your business permitting
needs.
The information contained in this guide is provided for information purposes only, is not intended
as legal advice, and may not address each and every permitting requirement that could potentially
apply to your business. For example, many cities and counties may have additional permitting
requirements. Businesses are advised to consult their legal counsel on the specific permits required
for your business.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact the Business Permit Office at (512) 936-1000.
