The annual back-to-school tax-free weekend starts this Friday and continues until midnight Sunday. Tax-free items include most clothing, footwear, backpacks, and school supplies, provided the items cost less than $100. Any item costing more than $100 will not be tax-free, including computers, software, textbooks, and backpacks with wheels.
The Texas Comptroller is reminding shoppers to practice social distancing while at the store, or better still, to order qualifying items online or over the phone.
