I owned a business 13 years ago and today received a letter from Ken Paxton that I have 10 days to respond. I did walk away from the owed sales taxes.

Is this still collectable by the State or will they sell it off to a collector?

I can tell you those people are dicks, will not settle for less and will come seize shit that they think you might own and keep it till they get paid.

Best hope is to get on a payment plan if you can't pay the full amount.

So you COLLECTED the sales tax, you just failed to REMIT it to the state. There's a word for that.

What's the amount owed before penalties, interest and what not?

I'm not a lawyer but I think the statute of limitations is different if it's a filing mistake vs fraud or not filing a return at all

This is not legal advice.  Also, they won't let you change your name to commit fraud.

Probably.  Like fraud squared.  But it's perjury at the very least.

They are going to want interest too. Whatever happens, validate every penny they say you owe. I’ve been involved with corporate sales tax audits and have successfully renegotiated some of the bull shit extrapolations the tax auditors proposed based on limited point of sale data.

I'm speaking in terms of Alabama law.  I'd think Texas is similar.  They have established a liability within their statute of limitations. Because the liability was assessed when it was within statute, you are still liable.  You owe the tax/interest/penalties.  Call them to set up a payment plan or close all of your in state bank accounts, sell all off your in state property, or move north and/or west and don't leave a forwarding address.  They'll put liens on any property they know that you own and garnish any bank accounts that you have.

And as previously stated, if you collected the tax and didn't remit it to the state, you're a thief
