Texas Weight-Distance Tax
No weight-distance or highway-use tax in Texas. There's no state per-mile credential or return to carry. You still run IFTA for fuel tax (Texas Comptroller), carry an IRP apportioned plate through TxDMV, and at 55,000 lb gross and up you owe the federal 2290 HVUT (IRS Form 2290, up to $550/year) — the same federal floor as every state.

IFTA and registration still apply
Every state, including Texas, still reaches you through the IFTA fuel tax (reconciled by the fuel you burn) and IRP apportioned registration (your plate). The only states that add a per-mile weight-distance or highway-use tax on top are Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Connecticut.
