Am I gonna have to pay state 'sales tax' on the sale of my primary residence?

It's not a rental or investment property and as such isn't subject to capital gains taxes.

If it was your permanent residence 2 of the last 5 years the gains are not taxable. There is no sales tax.

You technically paid a Texas "sales tax" when you paid for your pro-rated share of property taxes which the buyers get to claim as a federal deduction on income.

Thanks, guys!! That's kind of what I suspected, but I wasn't sure because of some verbiage in the Title Company documents package I have. It was pretty ambiguous.
