Sales Tax when buying a house in texas?

I am planning to buy a house in texas; i know texas charges property tax annually; but do texas charges sales tax when buying a house? this is my first house; i am not sure that will make a difference or not?

There is no sales tax on houses. New mobile homes maybe.

    No sales tax, no transaction tax, nothing like that.

    In Texas I see on HUD statements some recording fees that amount to $50.00 or so, but no stamp tax.

    No sales tax on real property, as opposed to personal property. One of your closing costs will include cost for a tax stamp, but this is a set fee regardless of the value of the house and is more comparable to a clerical fee.
