I think yes, you should get the sales tax refund...
but, a cursory glance at arcane rules & regs on state sales tax
did not turn up a definitive answer. Why would they keep it,
is my wonderment. If they are reporting and passing on sales tax
properly, to the state, there is nothing 'in it' for that dealer to
keep the sales tax on your purchase, imo.
GL, mD

Edit: more net noodling suggests that seller must return sales tax, in
the several states I read about; I could not find the Texas rule, however,
but I suspect it is the same.

The seller may try to scam the sales/use tax collection, by recording the item or service
as a 'return' and pocketing the sales tax collected from consumer, as the 'return' is deducted from their quarterly sales tax filing...
I smell dlr pocketing that buck and half from you, imo.
