It is the 'informal' form of "do you have".
As you probably know, in Spanish you have the formal (i.e. 'usted') and the informal (i.e. "tu') versions of verbs, etc. So, this time it is the informal version of such verb. If you were going to use the formal version, then you drop the letter 's' at the end, and say 'tiene'.
Hope it helps.

"You (singular) have" Example: "Do you have a pencil?"=¿Tienes (or ¿Tu tienes....?) un lapiz?
"Tu means you in Spanish and in the way is place in here to match with "tienes" is has to be singular.
When is in plural the word "tienes" change to "tienen" example: "Do you (plural) have a pencil?, which is in Spanish in the plural way "¿Ustedes tienen un lapiz?"

"Tienes" means "you (informal, singular) have."
"Tú tienes muchos hermanos." = "You have a lot of brothers and sisters."
