Texas Tax Free Weekend 2025: Qualifying Items

For three days only, clothing, shoes, backpacks, and school supplies priced under $100 per item are exempt from sales tax. That includes jeans, uniforms, binders, crayons, and more. Just make sure to leave the designer bags, athletic gear, and electronics for another day because those items are not included in the tax free weekend list.

Whether you prefer shopping in-store or online, you can still snag the savings. Just make sure the total price (including shipping) doesn’t go over $100 or you’ll lose that tax-free magic. Check out the full list and more details on the tax free weekend by clicking here!
