A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to an exemption from the use tax imposed on certain motor

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 152.023, Tax Code, is amended by adding
Subsection (d) to read as follows:
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a
new resident of this state is not required to pay the tax imposed by

sale in this state and the tax imposed by Section 152.021 was paid
on the total consideration.
SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act do not affect
tax liability accruing before the effective date of this Act. That

for those taxes.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
