Hegar also said today that state sales tax revenue in July was $2.4 billion up 2.7 percent compared to July 2014.
Julys modest growth in sales tax revenue is in line with the biennial revenue estimate issued in January" Hegar said. Stronger growth in receipts from consumer driven sectors including retail trade restaurants and services offset declining receipts from oil and gas-related sectors."
