This would also require fuel stations to be the enforcers of this and would therefore increase overhead on their end. It would also likely require a software update to the POS systems, both at the register and the pumps themselves. People would likely have to enter their Texas license plate (and many would likely enter whatever Texas plate they can see from their gas pump).powerboatr wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 10:32 pm one thing our governor has the power to do right now that would make a small difference is to direct the state comptroller to stop collecting federal and state taxes on fuel sold in texas for 6 months for only vehicles registered in texas.
thats 18 cents for gas and 24 for diesel per gallon for the fed tax and with hold state excise tax of 20 cents per gallon.
yes dc would come unglued and make threats. but in the end they cant withhold monies already set aside for federal roads in texas.
it would worm its way through court, but not before nov 22 elections
