Texas' sales tax revenue in October was $2.03 billion, up 8.2 percent from the same month a year ago, the Texas Comptroller said.
"The state's growth in sales tax revenue continued to be led by collections from the oil and natural gas-related sectors," Comptroller Susan Combs said Wednesday in a release. "We also saw strong consumer spending drive gains in retail trade and the restaurant sector as well."
Combs' office said it's sending $611.5 million in November local sales tax allocations to cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts, up 5.4 percent compared to November 2011.
