Dear participants, we wanted to clarify the small sales tax you will be charged. While the Houston Bar Foundation is a 501c3 organization and does not charge sales Tax, and in addition, Race Entry Fees are Tax Exempt in the State of Texas, the State of Texas requires our Registration Platform to collect Sales Tax on the small processing fee you pay.
