Not Ranked
Sorry, your getting bad advice. Texas is like most other states, a sales/use tax system. Out of state purchases are your resposibility to pay sales tax on.
Typically you just bring all this stuff (receipts) to the DMV and pay what taxes are due on the major components (engine, trans, body and frame).
Unless your building it for resale (like GM, Ford, ect.), the taxes are due. No point fooling around with the tax people, the penalties are murder. (typically double the original tax + 1~1.5% per mo.)
Sorry if I'm ignorant of some loophole in the Texas tax codes but I just checked this stuff on your state's dept of revenue site.
