TEXAS SALES TAX EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE – We claim an exemption from payment of sales and use
taxes for the purchase of taxable items described on the reverse side hereof. We claim this exemption
because Southwest Research Institute is a non-profit organization that qualifies under Section 151.310 of the
Texas Tax Code. We understand that we will be liable for payment of sales tax which may become due for
failure to comply with the provisions of the state, city and/or metropolitan transit authority sales and tax laws
and Comptroller rules regarding exempt purchases. Liability for the tax will be determined by the price paid
for the taxable item purchased or the fair market value for the period of time used. We understand that it is amisdemeanor to give an exemption certificate to the Seller for taxable items which we know, at the time ofpurchase, will be used in a manner other than that expressed in this certificate and, upon conviction, may be
fined up to $500.00 per offense. Sales and use tax “exemption numbers” do not exist.
