Tax-Free Weekend in Texas: Clothing and School Supplies
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
TEXAS – If you've started your shopping list for school supplies for your children and also want to buy them clothes before school starts, then you need to read this note to save money. From Friday, August 7 to Sunday, August 9, 2026, the state will hold a tax-free weekend as part of the back-to-school initiative. During this event, shoppers will not have to pay sales tax on items priced under $100, which translates to an estimated savings of $8 on that amount. In addition to school supplies, a variety of items are included, such as diapers, work uniforms, leather goods, and sportswear. You can click here to find the list of qualifying clothing, shoes, and other items (those marked with the letter E at the end are exempt). This link provides the list of school supplies that qualify for the exemption. The exemption applies to purchases made in stores or online, but if you have questions about this initiative or qualifying items, you can call the Comptroller's office for free, in Spanish, at 800-252-7875.
