Texas Medicaid does not count one car.  While she cannot gift it to you now without affecting her Medicaid eligibility, if you are not her only heir (and so could transfer title with a DMV affidavit of heirship after she passes), she might want to sign DMV forms transferring it to you on her death free of Medicaid Estate Recovery.
