Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Life Membership and Business Membership?

Life Membership dues are a one-time payment of $1,000 and 90% of Life Membership dues are placed in a permanent endowment. Life Members receive a Life Member number, member kit, subscription to the Alcalde magazine, and access to member benefits and services. Business Membership dues are $1,000 per year and 80% tax-deductible. See Business Member benefits.

What is the difference between a free listing in the Business Directory and a Business Membership?

A free listing posts your business for free in our online directory. Business Members receive a premium listing including a logo in our online directory; these listings are also included on a featured page of Texas Exes Business Members. Business Members also receive invitations to networking opportunities, social promotion on Texas Exes social pages (featured at the discretion of Texas Exes staff), inclusion in the Orange Pages (printed and mailed annually), and more.

Is there a time of year I should join the Business Membership

You can join any time! Membership is for one year. If you join on June 1, your membership will expire on June 1 of the following calendar year.

Will I get a business receipt?

Yes, upon purchase you will receive a transaction receipt at your provided email.

Why is the Business Membership only 80% tax-deductible?

The Texas Exes is a 501(3)(c) nonprofit organization. Beyond the membership fulfillment hard costs, the remaining membership dues are a charitable contribution that goes toward supporting the programs that strengthen UT and help Longhorns.
