(AUSTIN) — Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock today said state sales tax revenue totaled $4.5 billion in May, 6.6 percent more than in May 2025. The majority of May sales tax revenue is based on sales made in April and remitted to the agency in May.
“State sales tax collections showed solid growth well above the rate of general price inflation last month, driven in large part by strong increases in certain sectors influenced by business spending,” Hancock said. “Results from nearly all major economic sectors were positive.”
