Back-to-school shopping season is here, and the 2026 Texas Sales Tax Holiday is a great opportunity for families to save.
From Friday, August 7 through Sunday, August 9, 2026, shoppers can purchase qualifying clothing, footwear, school supplies, and backpacks priced under $100 per item without paying state or local sales tax.
The exemption applies to eligible purchases made:
Summer is filled with family outings, summer camps and other fun leisurely pastimes like trips to water parks, amusement parks, seasonal community celebrations or even just out shopping. While these activities create lasting memories, busy public places can also increase the chances of children becoming separated from their parents or caregivers. Taking a few simple precautions before and during your outing can help keep everyone safe.
Before heading out, discuss the importance of staying close to parents or caregivers. Explain what your child should do if they become separated and reassure them that there are safe adults who can help.
Try this cheesy, hot Buffalo Chicken Dip at your next party.
I refuse to believe that I am an “a-typical woman” because I love watching football. I know that there are lots of woman out there that are with me on this and are a sports fan thru and thru. With that said January means College Bowl games and NFL playoffs. There is nothing better than a gathering with friends and/or family to watch a good game of football on a big screen TV. But, no football party is complete without some super yummy snacks.
