Thanks for that link, Brandtley. There couldn't be any clearer explanation. And for those of us who have clients located outside of the state:
*"Customers with Locations Inside and Outside of Texas* Some of your customers may have locations inside and outside of Texas. Your service may be purchased for use at all those locations. Only the part of your service "used" in Texas is taxable. [...deletia...] If that part of the business is conducted at locations both within and outside of the state, the service is not taxable to the extent it is used outside of Texas."
