HB 4300 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the exemption of certain motor vehicle sales, gifts, and exchanges from motor vehicle sales and use taxes.

HB 4300 amends Texas tax code sections to clarify which motor vehicle transactions are exempt from sales and use taxes. It removes the previous exemption for vehicle gifts (previously covered under Section 152.025), meaning gifts of vehicles will now be taxable. The bill preserves exemptions for dealer transactions (e.g., dealers selling to other dealers) and private sales between individuals. This directly affects people giving vehicles as gifts, while leaving dealer activities and private sales unchanged.
