In Texas most services are taxable... http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxpubs/tx96_259.html Interestingly enough, my Wedding Planner got hit up for back sales taxes on her business, she had no idea until the state went after her for the taxes. Apparently whoever wrote that page felt the need to explicitly call out "Turkish baths" and "escort services" as taxable services.... I wonder how many "escorts" collect sales taxes.....
