Just to keep the flow of information going, I just got this email from the electronics site, NewEgg.
They are based in California and the message pertains to merchandise sold to people in Texas. So, don't be hatin' on our favorite vendors for their inevitable compliance with these newly adjusted standards.

Dear Customer,
Last year the U.S. Supreme Court changed the law regarding sales tax collection for e-commerce transactions by out-of-state sellers. What this means for customers such as yourself is that, instead of being responsible for reporting and paying your own use tax on such purchases, e-commerce companies like Newegg are now required to collect sales tax from you at the time of purchase.
To comply with the Supreme Court ruling, Newegg will begin collecting sales tax on most purchases shipped to Texas on October 1, 2019. Please note that there will be no sales tax collected on purchases processed on or before September 30, 2019.
This change in policy doesn't affect the amount of tax customers owe - it simply requires that Newegg collects taxes up front. Visit our Sales/Use Tax page to Learn More.
If you are a tax-exempt organization or reseller, we encourage you to follow these instructions regarding tax exemptions when purchasing from Newegg.
At Newegg, we greatly appreciate your loyalty over the years, and we hope to earn your continued patronage by doing what we do best: delivering great deals on the best tech around.
Best Regards,
Your Newegg Customer Service Team
