Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar today said state sales tax revenue totaled $3.88 billion in July, 14.7 percent more than in July 2021, and the highest monthly collections on record.
The majority of July sales tax revenue is based on sales made in June and remitted to the agency in July.
"July state sales tax collections showed continued vigorous growth from non-retail sectors," Hegar said. "The sharpest increase from a year ago was once again in receipts from oil and gas mining, but receipts from the construction, manufacturing and wholesale trade sectors were also up by double digits for the eighth consecutive month.
