HB 2511 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to an exemption from sales and use taxes for certain energy-efficient products for a limited period.

HB 2511 exempts certain energy-efficient home appliances and lighting from Texas state sales tax for a limited period. It applies directly to Texas residents purchasing specific products like air conditioners under $6,000, refrigerators under $2,000, dishwashers, water heaters, LED lightbulbs, and smart thermostats. The bill amends the Tax Code to define eligible items with clear price limits and product categories. The exemption takes effect September 1, 2025, and applies only to purchases made after that date, not to past tax liabilities.
