San Antonio families are taking advantage of the state's tax-free weekend to purchase back-to-school essentials. Shoppers are buying items such as shoes, clothes, backpacks, and notebooks while saving money at checkout. At a local Academy Sports + Outdoors, shoppers were trying to avoid crowds and heat on the second day of the sales tax holiday.

Some shoppers found what they needed, including hoodies and sweats, and were relieved to find the store was not as crowded as expected. Further details about the tax-free weekend shopping experience in San Antonio are available from local news sources, including KSAT 12.
