A few days ago, I was in Houston and at the time I was leaving Houston, the office at the airport was closed. What can I do in order to get the tax refund of all the things I bought in Houston.
Thanks

I assume you are an international traveler who did some shopping while in Texas and are looking for a refund of sales tax. Unfortunately Texas state law requires that you submit your refund documentation before leaving Texas. You don't say where you went to after Houston - but if you're still in Texas you may still submit receipts for you refund. Otherwise - I think unfortunately you're out of luck.

Agreed; you are SOL.
