My son turned 16 and his grandpa bought him a used truck from his workplace. So the truck goes into my name because he is a minor and I have to have the title transferred to Texas from Lousiana and register the truck and get plates for it also. The tax woman asked how much was paid for the truck and I told her 1000.00. She then checks the model and mileage and says the state of Texas values it at 3200.00 and that I would have to pay the 6% on that amount! So I walk out 311.00 dollars lighter than when I went intone office. Just wondering what the rest of the country pays?
