    I bought a new boat from an out of state dealer. Had to pay sales tax on the trailer and have it registered at the DMV. Had to pay local sales tax on the boat and motor at the school board office. Had to pay state sales taxes at the Dept of Revenue in Baton Rouge. Really wasn't that difficult. Made some calls and found out exactly what I needed to do before I bought the boat. You shouldn't have to pay sales taxes in Texas if it is being registered in Louisiana.
