Texas Tax-Free Weekend: Aug. 9-11 – Save money on back-to-school items!

Welcome Back to School with Tax-Free Savings!

SAN ANTONIO – The first day of school will be here before you know it, and you’ll likely want to get the most bang for your buck when shopping for back-to-school materials. Those looking to save can take advantage of this year’s tax-free holiday weekend starting Friday.

From Aug. 9 through midnight on Sunday, Aug. 11, parents can enjoy saving on taxes on purchases of most clothing, footwear, school supplies, and backpacks (sold for less than $100), according to the Texas Comptroller’s Office.

Items that qualify for the tax-free weekend can be purchased from a Texas store or an online seller doing business in Texas.

The Texas Comptroller’s Office said most footwear and clothing items sold for less than $100 qualify for the tax exemption during the holiday. The number of qualifying items a person can buy is not limited, according to the office.

Shipping and handling costs are included in the sales price, so if a pair of shoes costs $98 and shipping is $10, you would need to pay taxes since the total cost would be $108. However, if there are multiple items and there is a flat rate delivery charge per package, regardless of the number of items purchased, the total charge can be attributed to any one of the items in the package, according to the Texas Comptroller’s Office.

The exemption only applies to items bought during the tax-free holiday.

The Texas Comptroller’s Office said these items are ineligible:


  • items sold for $100 or more

  • …
