You live in Texas. If you buy a vehicle from a private seller do you pay sales tax when you get it registerd If so how do they determine what amount to tax you on They have no idea how much you payed.?
[Edit]

Yes, there is a sales tax of 6.25% on all purchases. You must provide a bill of sale with the car VIN, the condition of the car, and the purchase price as well as the signature of the seller and buyer. You will then pay taxes on that amount - but Texas does have a min tax value for the car which is ~80% of the value they determine that car should be worth.
