(AUSTIN) — Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar is reminding families and businesses that they can save on the purchase of certain water- and energy-efficient products during the state’s Water-Efficient Products and ENERGY STAR® sales tax holidays.

The holidays, created by the Texas Legislature, both take place Saturday, May 27, through Monday, May 29. The Texas Comptroller's office estimates shoppers will save $14.3 million in state and local sales tax.

A countyside outdoor burn ban first enacted by Hemphill County Commissioners on April 10, 2023, has been rescinded. Judge Lisa Johnson has determined that due to plentiful rainfall over the last few days, the circumstances that required the order no longer exist. The order rescinding the burn ban was effective as of 10:30 am on Monday, May 15, 2023.
