Sec. 151.411.  METHOD OF REPORTING:  SELLERS HAVING SALES BELOW TAXABLE AMOUNT.  (a)  If not less than 50 percent of the total receipts of a seller from the sale of taxable items come from separate transactions in which the sales price is an amount on which no tax is produced, the seller may exclude the receipts from those transactions when reporting and paying the sales tax.
(b)  A seller may not exclude any receipts from sales as permitted under Subsection (a) of this section unless the seller has received from the comptroller before the filing of the tax report written approval allowing the exclusion, and all receipts from sales of taxable tangible personal property and taxable services are subject to the tax until the approval is granted.
(c)  The comptroller shall approve the reporting and computation of the sales tax as permitted under Subsection (a) of this section by a seller if the seller qualifies for the exclusion and if the seller submits to the comptroller satisfactory evidence that the seller can and will maintain records adequate to substantiate the authorized exclusion.
