Mark, Define portable. One person carry? Two persons carry? Mounted on wheels to roll around?
One person portables around 1KW max. Wheeled, up to prob 10KW. Depends on how bad you want to move it and how far. 1-2KW probly plenty to run field day radio stuff.

The list of supplies and items that qualify appear on the Texas Comptroller's website at: https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/publications/98-1017.php Unfortunately, the tax holiday does not provide exemption from sales tax on the purchase of radios in excess of $75 in value. Perhaps we can persuade a Texas legislator to sponsor an amendment to the law that would extend the tax exemption to permit the exclusion of sales tax on a broader class of amateur radios and related equipment. If you have been planning to purchase a small generator, note the sales tax exclusion does apply to portable generators that cost less than $3,000.00, permitting — depending on brand and where purchased — the acquisition of generators up to 15,000 watts.
