If back-to-school shopping is on your to-do list, don\u2019t hop on the current deal. A better one may be right around the corner.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s annual tax-free weekend returns in August as a way to help families save on back-to-school shopping, just weeks before many Texas students start their next school year<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Texas\u2019 tax-free weekend begins Aug. 7 and runs through midnight on Aug. 9, according to the state comptroller\u2019s website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Any items you buy before or after the holiday begins will not qualify for the tax-free exemption.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Purchases must be under $100 per item to receive the sales tax exemption.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most daily clothing, such as blouses, pants and jackets, qualify. Speciality or sports clothing like fishing gear and hockey gloves do not.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yes. Texans can receive the tax-free exemption for qualifying items bought in-store, online, by phone or mail. The only restriction is the purchase must be made during the holiday weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For example, if a jacket costs $95, but the delivery fee is $10, the customer would have to pay tax on the full sales price since the total exceeds $100.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speciality items, such as golf cleats or football pads, do not qualify.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other items that do not qualify include:\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If back-to-school shopping is on your to-do list, don\u2019t hop on the current deal.
