Celina shoppers can take advantage of the upcoming tax-free weekend in Texas, which runs from August 7 through August 9, 2026. During this period, many back-to-school items will be exempt from state and local sales tax, potentially saving shoppers up to 8.25 percent.
Eligible items include most clothing and footwear priced under $100 per item, student backpacks (with a limit of 10 per purchase), and specific school supplies, each under $100. The tax exemption applies to purchases made in Texas stores or online from Texas-based sellers. However, certain items, such as jewelry, handbags, computers, and clothing designed primarily for athletic use, do not qualify.
Shoppers will not need a coupon or exemption certificate, as the discount is applied automatically at checkout for qualifying items. A complete list of eligible items can be found through the Texas Comptroller's office.
