Texas Sales Tax Refunds / Manifiestos / Export Certification
Support for eligible international shoppers seeking Texas sales tax refund assistance after qualifying merchandise is exported from the United States. Many shoppers from Mexico know this process as "manifiestos," while others ask for shipper/export certification help. DPBS authorized employees can help collect required registration details, photo evidence of purchase, and travel/export evidence when applicable through the DPBS Client Portal for LCBECS-related pre-registration and processing.
DPBS Client Portal and Secure Uploads
Clients and shoppers will be able to request portal access for receipts, invoices, tax documents, identity records, publications, appointment follow-up, and other processing information. Sensitive files should be uploaded only through an approved DPBS portal or secure intake process, not public chat, ordinary email, or text message.
