For North Texas sign & graphics shops

Meet new storefronts before they open, while they still need a sign.

Every week we pull the businesses that just filed for a Texas sales-tax permit in your county, keep the storefront-type ones, and hand you a short list with a ready-to-send intro. You get there before they've picked a sign vendor.

Free sample for your county. No card, no contract.

How it works

Three steps, every Monday

The state publishes new sales-tax permits as public data. Many list a first-sales date that's still weeks away. That gap is your window.

1

We pull the new permits

Fresh Texas Comptroller sales-tax permit filings for your county. We keep storefront-type businesses: restaurants, retail, salons, medical, fitness, auto, and similar.

2

We check and sort them

Each lead is checked against public listings, marked Opening soon or Just opened, and scored A/B/C for how likely it is to need signage now.

3

You reach out first

Your list arrives Monday morning as a Google Sheet (and CSV). Each lead comes with a short intro email, a call opener, and a walk-in line you can use as-is.

What a list looks like

"First sales date" is the date the business reported to the state; actual opening dates can move. Scores are our own estimate, not a promise of a job.

Guarantee

Usable leads, or you don't pay

  • We guarantee the list: fresh, checked, storefront-type businesses in your county.
  • We don't guarantee jobs. Closing them is your craft.
  • No contract. Cancel any time with one email.
  • Founding pilot: reply "refund" within 30 days for your $99 back.

FAQ

Questions shops ask

Where does the data come from?

From the Texas Comptroller's public "Active Sales Tax Permit Holders" data, published on the state's open-data portal. Businesses get a sales-tax permit before they start selling, and many report a first-sales date that's still weeks out. We filter it, check each lead against public listings, and sort it for sign shops. Storefront Radar is an independent business and is not affiliated with the Texas Comptroller.

Which counties do you cover?

Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Wise, Cooke, Montague, and Wichita. Seats are limited to 3 shops per county, or 1 if someone takes the exclusive. Ask if your county is still open.

How does delivery work?

Every Monday morning your list lands in a Google Sheet shared with you (CSV download included), and we email you when it's ready. Core plans also get a smaller Thursday drop of new filings.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Every plan is month to month. Reply to any email or write to [email protected] and we'll stop at the end of your current month.

Will other sign shops get the same leads?

At most 3 shops share a county on Core. With an Exclusive county plan, no one else gets your county's list.

Do you contact the businesses on my list?

No. The list is yours to work. We give you the timing and the words; you make the contact.
