Legal Question in Consumer Law in Texas

used car tax

I bought a used car three days ago and they forgot to add the sales tax to the contract deal. It is signed, I have the car, and they have my trade. What if they call and tell me I owe them the sales tax? Do I HAVE to pay it or is the deal done and can I tell them the tax is now their problem?

Re: used car tax

You are responsible for the sales tax. They are responsible for collecting it from you and then paying the state. A clerical error or oversight doesn't undo the contract; the error can be corrected.
