What is Texas's sales tax on private vehicle purchases?
Texas charges 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax on the higher of the actual sale price or the vehicle's Standard Presumptive Value (SPV). The buyer pays at the county tax assessor-collector.

30 days from the date of sale. A $25 late fee applies if the buyer misses the deadline. Gift transfers and other special transactions have additional requirements.
