The side car is not registered vehicle, I'd say that's a different category. If you would have had the side car delivered you would not have had to pay sales tax

Yes, I know that is correct. I'm just joking about that. The sidecar dealer said if I would have paid my friend who was with me a dollar for delivering it, I could get out of paying the tax. My relationship with God makes me not want to do things like that!

It's perfectly legal, I don't know what you have to feel guilty about, god didn't make the laws...
The point is that it is not legal to avoid paying sales tax if you are there buying in person. But, Texas law does not require tax if delivered out-of-state. Some states are now charging tax either way. I have experienced this many times. They're beginning to figure out they can get more and more taxes.
Some dealers will not charge tax if you have an out-of-state residence even though it's not legal to avoid tax if you walk in and buy it. This particular dealer was very concerned about doing things right. He had not shipped a sidecar out-of-state yet and expressed concern about obeying the law. He gave me a really good deal plus built the tax in to the deal (so he wouldn't feel guilty about breaking the law). He was a good guy. (Royal Enfield of Ft. Worth)

I know I'm going to be paying state and county tax based on my place of residence when I register so I would insist that I pay nothing at the dealership. I have no problem paying the tax but I don't want to pay it twice.
