However, Texas does have a Corporate Franchise Tax.
Corporate Franchise Tax
This tax is imposed on all corporations and is measured by net taxable capital and by net taxable surplus that is apportioned to Texas. Apportionment is determined by using a single gross receipts formula, with allowable deductions applying to both the capital and earned surplus components.
The tax rate on net capital assets is 0.25 percent or $2.50 per $1000 of net taxable capital. The tax rate on net earned surplus is 4.5 percent.
Corporations calculate the franchise taxes due on taxable capital assets and on taxable earned surplus, paying the greater of the two amounts.

In 1993, the Center for Advancement of Energy Markets ranked Texas the “number one” deregulated market in the United States.
The new era of deregulation in Texas offers new opportunities for competitive rates and services. Below is the link to information for residential and non-residential electrical power providers.
