Episode Details

Texas families are set to save big this weekend—August 7–9—with the annual sales tax holiday, letting you snag back-to-school gear like clothes, shoes, and diapers under $100 without paying state or local tax. The Comptroller estimates $142.5 million in savings across the state, whether shopping online, in-store, or via mail. Just remember: items $100+ (including computers, textbooks, and specialty sports gear) still carry tax, but layaway purchases made before the holiday still qualify for the exemption on final payments. If you’re accidentally taxed, ask for a refund. This long-running tradition has saved Texans billions over the years—making it a smart, wallet-friendly way to gear up for school.
