Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said June 2 state sales tax revenue totaled $4.2 billion in May, 4.7% more than in May 2024. 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 grew solidly compared with May 2024,” Hegar said. “This follows very strong collections in April and was more than twice the overall rate of general price inflation.
“Remittances from sectors driven mainly by business spending were once again mixed, with receipts from the construction and wholesale trade sectors coming in below their May 2024 levels, but receipts from the manufacturing sector substantially topping collections from a year ago. Receipts from the mining sector were up by double digits for the second consecutive month.
