Selling gold in Austin: what Texas law requires

  • Texas does not charge sales tax on gold, silver or numismatic coins, or on platinum, gold or silver bullion. Source: Texas Tax Code ch. 151.
  • A Texas dealer buying gold jewelry must record your driver's license or state ID number, send a copy of the record to police within 48 hours, and may not melt or resell it before the 11th day after that report. Coins and bars are not covered by this rule. Source: Texas Occupations Code ch. 1956.

This is a summary of the state rule, not legal advice. Cities and counties can add their own rules, so ask the buyer what they need from you before you go.
