AUSTIN —AUSTIN — Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock today said state sales tax revenue totaled $4.04 billion in June, 2.5 percent more than in June 2024. The majority of June sales tax revenue is based on sales made in May and remitted to the agency in June.
“State sales tax collections exhibited moderate growth compared with June 2024,” Hancock said. “This comes on the heels of consecutive months of strong growth in both April and May.
“Among the sectors influenced primarily by business spending, remittances from the manufacturing sector showed the strongest growth and receipts from the construction sector had positive growth for the first time since February. Collections from the mining sector were down after exhibiting strong growth the previous two months.
“Among the large sectors driven mainly by consumer spending, the retail trade and service sectors were both up moderately compared with June 2024. Within retail trade, the largest sector — electronic shopping — had the largest gain, showing double digit growth compared with the same month a year ago. Receipts from furniture stores and home improvement centers declined significantly from a year ago, and collections from general merchandise stores declined slightly.
“Receipts from restaurants came in higher than a year ago, above the rate of inflation for food away from home for May.”
Total sales tax revenue for the three months ending in June 2025 was up 4.8 percent compared with the same period a year ago. Sales tax is the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 58 percent of all tax collections.
According to the Texas Comptroller’s website, Dickens is set to receive $3,884.27 and the city of Spur is set to receive $12,441.45 in July. Jayton is set to receive $1,450.08 in July.
