Default Registration in Tx.

Can anyone tell me if you have to pay state tax when registering a new vehicle in Texas?

State tax.. Lets put it this way..
I just moved here around 3 years ago.. Had 2 vehicles to get registered..
It cost me 70 on one of them and 80 on the other.

It was the whole title transfer deal...
But cant say for sure of the state tax.. Did not think they had it here...

But not sure what they might do for you coming from japan....

if its a new purchase, you must pay TX sales tax.

if its brought from another state, you must pay 'new resident tax', which could vary from county to county. i recall paying something around $90 when i registered my hawk in fort worth

So with what slayer is saying, that is why we had the 70 - 90 to get all registered here.
I had pontiac G6, and 02 Z28.
