Sales tax holiday set this weekend
By Melinda L. Lucas
An annual event in Texas since 1999, this year’s state sales tax holiday is set for Friday, Aug. 5 through Sunday, Aug. 7.
The law exempts sales tax on qualified items – such as clothing, footwear, school supplies, and backpacks – priced below $100, saving shoppers about eight dollars on every $100 they spend.
