Texans will have a sales tax holiday for emergency preparation supplies from April 25th to the 27th. State Comptroller Glenn Hegar says the tax holiday also applies to items bought online. Qualifying items include household batteries, gas cans, flashlights, hurricane shutters, emergency ladders, and generators that cost less than $3 thousand. Not included are batteries for cars or boats, chainsaws, plywood, camping gear, or masks or other personal protection equipment to be used during the pandemic.
