The annual back-to-school Tax Free Holiday begins Friday, Aug. 9 and runs through Sunday, Aug. 11. In Texas, the 2019 event exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks (priced under $100) from sales and use taxes. The holiday applies to items purchased from a Texas store or from an online or catalog seller doing business in Texas.

Some exclusions apply; go to www.TexasTaxHoliday.org for more information.
