TYLER COUNTY – Countywide sales tax revenues were up for the month of January for all but one of Tyler County’s four incorporated cities, according to the most recent figures from the Texas Comptroller’s Office.
Acting state comptroller Kelly Hancock announced last week that, statewide, sales tax allocations reported put $1.1 billion toward cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose districts, which is a 2.1% increase from what was reported in March 2025.
Those figures reported were based on sales made in January by businesses that report tax revenue.

Cumulatively, the sales taxes generated from transactions in Chester; Colmesneil; Ivanhoe and Woodville amounted to $127,161.08, which is up from $114,279.07 from last year at this same time.
While Chester, Ivanhoe and Woodville experienced an uptick in revenues, Colmesneil saw a net negative decrease of -5.64% in its year-to-date tax revenues.
