Nope. Oregon doesn't have a use tax since we don't have a sales tax (and thank goodness for that).

As far as the use tax goes, I know Ohio has that, but in Texas you don't need to file a state return so I'm not sure how/if Texas would collect use tax.

4. How do I report a use tax liability?
If you have a sales tax permit and bought goods or services that are subject to use tax, you must report your purchase on your Texas sales tax return on line 3, "taxable purchases."
If you do not hold a Texas sales and use tax permit and you bought items on which the seller did not collect Texas sales or use tax, you must report your purchases on form 01-156, Texas Occasional Use Tax.
If you paid another state's sales or use tax on the merchandise, you can take a credit for the amount of sales tax paid to the other state.

What's the difference between a "sales tax" and a "use tax"?

EDIT: Didn't read the subtitle.
