Sec. 322.105.  USE TAX:  WHERE USE OCCURS.  (a)  In determining the incidence of the use tax of a taxing entity, the name of the taxing entity is substituted in Subchapter D, Chapter 151, for "this state" where those words are used to designate the taxing entity or delimit the tax imposed.  However, the excise tax of a taxing entity on the use, storage, or other consumption of a taxable item does not apply if the item is first used, stored, or consumed in an area other than an entity area.(b)  If a sale of a taxable item is consummated within this state but not within an entity area and the item is shipped directly or brought by the purchaser or lessee directly into an entity area, the item is subject to the entity's use tax.  The use is considered to be consummated at the location where the item is first used, stored, or consumed after the intrastate transit has ceased.(c)  If a taxable item is shipped from outside this state to a customer within this state, the item is subject to the use tax of the taxing entity and not its sales tax.  A use is considered to be consummated at the first point in this state where the item is stored, used, or consumed after the interstate transit has ceased. A taxable item delivered to a point in this state is presumed to be for storage, use, or consumption at that point until the contrary is established.(d)  Repealed by Acts 2007, 80th Leg., R.S., Ch. 823, Sec. 1(1), eff.
