New Jeep? Whereabouts in DFW?
I don't know how they are in Mich. but if it's like here be sure to be sitting down when you go to the tag office. I about had coronary lock up when she said " that'll be $1483 " . just warning ya, they about had to get the defibulator
Michigan is 6% sales tax On whatever is put in the “sale price “ box
It is perfectly legal to drive a newly purchased car directly to your home without a tag. You do need a signed title and probably a good idea to have a written recipt

Colorado used to be like that. But since it became East California, the gubmint no long trusts its citizens. Now the state charges tax on what they think your vehicle is worth. Plus fees, of course, lots and lots of fees. You should hope Michigan doesn't go the same way.
Colorado does. I don't know about other states. You could check with each state you're going to pass through.
If I remember correctly, my insurance will cover a vehicle for a few days after purchase before I contact them to add it to my policy. Comes in handy if I buy something over a weekend; I just call them first thing Monday morning.
My statement about "most states..." was from checking with each state I passed through ahead of time. In fact, for the states I drove through, none allowed traveling through without a permanent or temporary registration. And one of them was Texas, the OP's starting point.

What makes think california doesn't tax based off the price you write down?
Unless it changed in the last couple years its always been that way.
I guess I made an assumption there, since CO follows CA in most things vehicular. So CO got ahead of CA on this one. Bummer for you if CA ever follows CO.
CO doesn't allow a trade. Back in the 70s, I traded cars with my uncle. We both wrote a very low price on our bill of sale and paid a small tax. Nowadays, we would both pay whatever the state decided to extract from our pockets, even though no money had changed hands.
