When to use this template

Use this template if you're a Texas-based independent contractor or freelancer billing clients. Texas has no state income tax, which simplifies your invoicing — you don't need to track or report state withholding. The template handles standard Texas business considerations including DBA (Doing Business As) registration and franchise tax notes for LLCs above the no-tax threshold.

Texas-specific invoicing tips

Texas contractors don't deal with state income tax withholding, but you do need to track federal taxes (estimated quarterly payments, self-employment tax) and Texas franchise tax if your LLC's annualized total revenue exceeds the no-tax threshold (~$2.47M as of 2026). For most freelance/consulting practices, this isn't a concern. If you operate as a sole proprietor or single-member LLC under the threshold, your invoicing stays simple.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Texas business license to invoice as a contractor?

Texas doesn't require a general state business license, but specific industries (cosmetology, electrical, plumbing, etc.) require trade-specific licenses. For most freelance and consulting work, you can invoice as a sole proprietor without state-level registration. If you operate under a name other than your legal name, file a DBA (Assumed Name Certificate) with the county clerk.

Do I need to charge Texas sales tax?

Most freelance services are not subject to Texas sales tax. Sales tax applies to tangible personal property and certain enumerated services. Common freelance work (consulting, writing, design, programming services) is generally exempt. Exceptions include data processing services, information services, and specific creative services — when in doubt, check Texas Comptroller guidance for your specific service category.
