It's unusual for the tax to be itemized on the customer's bill, but this
seems to fall in the category of real property services described on the
Texas comptroller's Taxable Services web page.

Services on both residential and nonresidential real property are
subject to sales tax in Texas. Tex. Tax Code Ann. §151.0101(a)(11).

I had a window washing company wash the exterior windows of my home
today and the basic charge was $145.00, to which he added 8.25% TX
sales tax. Is it proper to charge TX sales tax on a service like this?
