Why do Texas Ford dealers charge a documentation fee, and what does it cover?
A documentation fee is the charge a dealer adds for the paperwork of a sale, and it is part of the out-the-door price a buyer pays. Texas taxes the vehicle too: motor vehicle sales tax is 6.25% of the sales price, minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026).
Ask for the out-the-door total in writing before you sign. The sales desk at 6445 Southwest Freeway is open Monday to Friday 9 AM to 8 PM and Saturday 9 AM to 7 PM, and it is closed Sunday.
