As summer comes to a close, families in the Conroe area are preparing for the new school year. A statewide sales tax holiday is approaching, which may be of interest to parents looking to purchase school supplies. The sales tax holiday will take place from August 7-9, during which certain items will be exempt from sales tax.

Further details about the sales tax holiday and the start dates for local school districts can be found through the Lake Conroe Area News and other sources, including the Texas Comptroller's Office.
