Tax Code Section 324.001
County Sales and Use Tax Act Applicable
(b)
A county may not adopt or increase a tax under this chapter if as a result of the adoption of or increase in the tax the combined rate of all sales and use taxes imposed by the county and other political subdivisions of this state having territory in the county would exceed two percent at any location in the county.(c)
If the voters of a county approve the adoption of or the increase in the tax at an election held on the same election date on which another political subdivision adopts a sales and use tax or approves the increase in the rate of its sales and use tax and as a result the combined rate of all sales and use taxes imposed by the county and other political subdivisions of this state having territory in the county would exceed two percent at any location in the county, the election to adopt a sales and use tax under this chapter or increase the tax has no effect.(b)
The rate may be reduced in one or more increments of one-eighth of one percent to a minimum of one-half of one percent or increased in one or more increments of one-eighth of one percent to a maximum of one percent, or the tax may be abolished.(b)
If the comptroller determines that an effective date provided by Subsection (a) will occur before the comptroller can reasonably take the action required to begin collecting the tax or to implement the increase, decrease, or abolition of the tax, the effective date may be extended by the comptroller until the first day of the next succeeding calendar quarter.
