Texas shoppers will have the chance to save on back-to-school purchases while supporting local businesses during the state's annual Sales Tax Holiday, set for Friday, Aug. 7, through Sunday, Aug. 9.

During the tax-free weekend, most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced under $100 will be exempt from state and local sales taxes.

Qualifying items may be purchased tax free at Texas retail stores or from online and catalog retailers doing business in Texas.
