Save Up to 8.25% During Texas Tax-Free Weekend from August 7-9

As the new school year approaches, shoppers in Anna can take advantage of Texas' annual tax-free weekend from August 7 through August 9, 2026. During this period, many essential back-to-school items will be exempt from state and local sales tax, which can total up to 8.25 percent.

Eligible items include most clothing and footwear priced under $100 per item, as well as student backpacks, with a limit of 10 per purchase, and various school supplies priced under $100 each. The tax exemption applies to purchases made in Texas stores or online from Texas-based sellers.

However, certain items are excluded from the tax holiday, such as watches, jewelry, handbags, wallets, computers, software, textbooks, and clothing or footwear primarily designed for athletic or protective use. Additionally, services like rentals, alterations, and cleaning are not included. Shoppers do not need to present a coupon or exemption certificate, as the discount will be applied automatically at checkout for qualifying items.

A complete list of eligible items can be found on the Texas Comptroller's website.
