If you have school aged children you have probably been looking forward to Tax free weekend...so you can get your school clothing without paying Uncle Sam! That time has come in Katy so we wanted to put out this reminder.
Stores in LaCenterra, The Katy Mills Mall, Villagio Retail Center, J.C. Penny at The Grand, and our other fine retail shops are all offering great deals and NO TAX!!! Mona was out today buying Anthony his school clothes.
Happy Shopping!
Cinco Ranch is having its annual Back To School Bash Friday August 21st from 5-9pm. The back to school bash will be held at the Cinco Ranch Water Park just west of Westheimer off Cinco Ranch Blvd. The kids can enjoy games and fun before heading back to school on Monday! All residents of Cinco I and Cinco II are invited to come out.
Texas shoppers will get a break from state and local sales tax on August 21,22,and 23rd-this is the state's annual tax holiday.
The Law exempts clothing and footwear priced under $100 fro sales and use taxes, which translates into about $8 for every $100 spent. Also exempt are elementary and secondary school backpacks.
In addition, new legislature was recently passed(HB 1801) which EXPANDS on what items qualify for the tax exemption. Texas families also get a break on most school supplies at less than $100 that are for use by a student in elementary or secondary school. Some of the items included are binders, book bags, crayons, erasers, highlighters, legal pads, lunch boxes, markers, rulers, scissors, just to name a few!
There is no exemption certificate required UNLESS the purchaser is buying the supplies under a business account.
Some examples of items that WILL BE taxed are: baseball cleats/pants, belt buckles, boots, accessories like barrettes, ponytail holders, watches, safety gear, glasses.
So nake sure to mark your calendars so you can save some money while getting the kids ready for the new school year!

Katy Texas is an area that caters to family...especially those with children who will be attending our award winning KatyISD School District. Many of the potential clients we speak to are relocating because of job moves or quality of life issues. During our many conversations with these potential clients the topic often turns to their children as well as schools, and extra cirricular options like sports.
Rest assured...your children will have every sports option you can imagine! Katy is known for football...in fact the Katy High School football team is always competing for the Texas State Championship. Baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, gymnastics, lacrosse, horseback riding, even Hockey are well represented here. You will have options for all ages, abilities levels, and advanced placement.

Katy Christian Ministries is opening a new larger re-sale shop in the old K-Mart location Mason Rd. It is on the opposite side of Mason from the present location. The store will more than double in size from it's present 19,000 sqft to around 39,000sqft.
Mona loves shopping at KCM...she not only finds a few nuggets from the enormous selection of products they carry, she, as many Katy residents feel, is donating to a great cause. Every year we evaluate all we have and make a donation to KCM....this is an organization that does a lot of good in the Katy area! KCM carries items like clothing, toys, furniture, office furniture, kitchen supplies, pictures, and much more.
The new location at 333 S. Mason Road (about 1/2 mile south of I-10 on the east side of Mason Rd) is set to open later in August. Stop by, check it out, drop off (make a donation) some things you no longer need...and find something you always wanted...it will be fun and you will be helping a great organization!
