The actual sales price is the measure of the tax. If the discounted
price appears on your sales check, the regular retail price never goes
on the restaurant's books and the discount is not a problem. If the
discount is taken AFTER the sale has been recorded (e.g., in the case
of a discount for prompt payment of an invoice), the seller can deduct
it from gross sales when the sales/use tax return is filed. See Tex.
Tax Code Ann. §151.007(c)(1) ; Tex. Admin. Code §3.301(d).

When I go to a restaurant and they give me a 10% senior citizen
discount as an example, should the sales tax be applied to the price
before the discount, or to the 10% discounted price?

========================================= MODERATOR'S COMMENT:
That depends on the state, and perhaps local, regulations.
