If you have an RV, drive it here and then buy a car. IMO, there's really no use for the hassle and expense of towing a car to Texas (I'm sort of assuming that's what you had in mind) when you can just buy it after you get here.

The sales tax varies (a certain percentage is state and the rest is local and that is the variable part) but I think it stays the same statewide on vehicle purchases.

Thanks jfre. That was our plan. No need to tow anything. We would rather buy a used car in Texas anyway.

Some one did tell me the sales tax was different in each county. I have to check into that.
