I'm buying my FIL car (in TX) and bringing it back here. Is there anything I need prior to buying the car? Do I need to get temporary tags?  Last time I bought a car was in WI and all I needed was to show bill of sale and have a new title in 30 days

In case you didn't already find the info you seek:

You will need a signed title and bill of sale with mileage declaration.

You will have to get it smog checked (if it's >5 years old) and bring the certificate with you to the MVD with your proof of insurance.

They will do a VIN inspection and check your mileage at the MVD.

All of this is supposed to be done within 30 days of the vehicle entering the state.

ETA: The bolded assumes you are in Bernalillo County
