Back to school is almost here! This means our favorite holiday of the year to shop our favorite local retailers is also upon us – tax-free weekend. Three whole days dedicated to shopping for clothing, footwear, school supplies, and more? Sounds like our kind of celebration.

Most clothing and footwear like jeans, dresses, jackets, suits and robes are included in the weekend deal. The big exceptions are any product with a $100+ price tag, all accessories, athletic clothing, and bags. Check out more tax-free weekend tips or explore the Texas Comptroller’s website to see the specifics on what’s exempt and what’s taxable.

So prepare to make a Texas-sized difference in your community and shop local this tax-free weekend. We’ve rounded up our editor’s top pick of where to go from August 5th-7th, but don’t let us stop you at just one retailer! Your guide to 36 cities starts now!
