Receipts are sales, not profit, and tax revenue is booked when the state receives it, so the fiscal year tax totals do not line up month for month with the receipts. Part of both taxes is passed on to cities and counties, which the table does not split out.

Resolution

Index
$LASTCALL The Texas bar tab. Rulebook v0.2, 2026-10-04.
Prints
Monthly, about six weeks late. The newest complete month is on the record after the daily proof at 12:40 UTC.
As first published

Sep 2026 is not timestamped yet. The daily proof at 12:40 UTC adds it.

The number as first published is final for settlement. A revision by the source is shown beside it and never replaces it.

Fallback
A month stays open until its report count reaches 95% of the median of the three months before it. Late reports revise it, and the revision is shown beside the number as first published. A month that never lands is void.
Precision
US dollars of total receipts, summed across every report for the month, rounded to the dollar.
Cost to move
Not practical. Moving a month means filing false tax reports with the Texas Comptroller.
Grade
reference. A tax record. Every permit holder reports its receipts to the state and the state publishes each report. A venue can add them up itself.
For a rulebook
Settle on the number Tickerz first recorded for $LASTCALL for the month named in the contract, published at tickerz.com/x/lastcall and in GET /api/indices/lastcall, timestamped daily in Bitcoin with OpenTimestamps.
