October's statewide sales tax revenue increased by 1.6 percent year-over-year to $660.4 million, but thanks to Hurricane Harvey, several Greater Houston-area cities bucked the trend, according to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Sales tax revenue distributed in October is based on August sales made by businesses that report tax revenue monthly. Numerous Greater Houston-area businesses closed temporarily when Harvey hit the region in late August.

Additional data for cities and taxing entities can be found in the comptroller's monthly report.
