Reading the TPWD rules on sales taxes (6.25%) as it applies to used boats purchased out of state. The question here is the meaning of their terminology: :......or first used in Texas..........

Not clear on whether this means a new boat and its first registration happens to be Texas (assumed a basic requirement), or does it also refer to/include a "new boat to Texas" and it's "first registration here" after having been brought into the state after purchased elsewhere .

Really looking for BTDT folks that live in Texas and purchase out of state boat-motors, title or just registration types, no matter, and have applied for and received a Texas title(s) and in doing so, did or did not have to pay Texas sales tax on the purchase price of the boat.

Thanks.
