Texas sales tax is 6.25 percent of the sales price minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). A higher trade-in value lowers the taxable price, so the trade is worth settling before you set the price of the new car.

A documentation fee pays for the paperwork a dealer handles on a sale. Ask for that fee in writing on the quote, with its exact amount, before you sign.

Texas dealers often add a vehicle inventory tax as a separate line. It is a property tax assessed on the dealer rather than the buyer, the sales agreement treats it as negotiable, and motor vehicle sales tax is not charged on it (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Motor Vehicle Tax Guide, 2026).
