As families gear up for the new school year, there’s one annual tradition that’s just as anticipated as new sneakers and sharpened pencils—Texas’s Tax-Free Weekend. From Friday, August 8 through Sunday, August 10, 2025, shoppers across the state will get a break from state and local sales taxes on essential school-related items.
That means Houstonians can expect a shopping rush at local retailers, big box stores, and online carts alike, as folks take advantage of the savings on clothing, footwear, backpacks, and school supplies—all priced under $100.
