The tax free weekend is coming! This summer's back-to-school sales tax holiday in Texas runs from Friday, Aug. 6, through midnight of Sunday, Aug. 8.
Now's the time to stock up on these qualifying items that will be tax exempt this weekend:
1. Clothing (not for sports) shoes and backpacks (under $100 each item)
2. School supplies (under $100 each item)
This goes for online purchases as well, given that the merchant you're buying from is Texas-based. Shipping rates will still apply though!
