More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to the exemption of motor vehicles transferred from a decedent's estate’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill exempts motor vehicles transferred from a decedent's estate from tax liability. It amends Section 152.025(a) of the Tax Code, which imposes a tax on recipients of gifted motor vehicles, specifying exemptions for vehicles received from specified relatives, revocable trusts, or exempt organizations. It also modifies Section 152.062(b-2) to require recipients to file a joint statement in person with valid photo identification and prohibits using a licensed motor vehicle title service. Additionally, a new Section 152.094 exempts vehicles acquired by a distributee from an estate from the taxes imposed by the chapter. The changes in law do not affect tax liabilities accruing before its enactment, and the previous law remains in effect for the collection and enforcement of such taxes. This act takes effect Sept. 1, 2025.
