Local shops argue online retailers have an unfair price advantage because they are not required to collect taxes on behalf of the state that in Texas can reach 8.5 percent of the sales price.

Yeah, an unfair price advantage for online retailers- if they eat the cost of shipping to the customer, of course.

Not always. I know walmart and soem of the other sites charge me sales tax in NY. I am not sure if amazon does since I havent ordered anything from them in a while. Some site make you order a certain amt to qualify for the free shipping. For me I figured the shipping would balance out not paying hte sales tax.
