Schoolchildren will soon head back to the classroom; and Texas’ annual Sales Tax Holiday will help outfit kids with tax-free clothes, shoes and school supplies they need for the new school year. Texas’ Sales Tax Holiday will be from August 20-22, with no state or local sales tax on school supplies and most clothing and shoes priced under $100. See the Aug. 19 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald for more information.
