Your Guide to the 2021 Texas Tax Free Weekend

If you’re looking to save some money while getting the kids ready for the new school year, the 2021 Texas Tax Free Weekend begins Friday, Aug. 6 and ends Sunday, Aug. 8.

Clothing, footwear and school supplies under $100 will be exempt from sales tax during these three days, saving shoppers approximately $8 for every $100 spent. Best of all, the tax-free weekend applies to purchases made in person, online and over the phone!
