Fiscal future continues to brighten for Bowie County and Texas

Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced this week that he will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose districts $1.07 billion in local sales tax allocations for January, 7.6 percent more than in January 2022.

These allocations are based on sales made in November by businesses that report tax monthly.

Across Northeast Texas, the trend for growing sales and an increase in business revenue continued, again showing that local economies are recovering still from the pandemic shutdown.
