Parents in San Antonio can soon save on back-to-school purchases. A tax exemption is available for certain items, including most clothing and school supplies. The exemption applies to items purchased from Texas stores or online sellers doing business in the state.

To qualify, purchases must be completed and paid for during a specific period. Further details on qualifying items and the tax exemption are available from the Texas Comptroller's Office, which oversees the program. The tax-free period is scheduled to start soon, and shoppers can expect to save on various items, with some restrictions applying to prices and delivery times.
