THE TEXAS HERITAGE SONGWRITERS ASSOCIATION PRODUCES A HALL OF FAME AWARDS SHOW. THIS IS A PUBLIC EVENT WHICH SERVES AS AN INDUCTION CEREMONY FOR ITS SONGWRITING HONOREES. OVER THE PAST DECADES MANY OF OUR SUCCESSFUL SONGWRITERS, IN ALL GENRES OF MUSIC HAVE COME FROM TEXAS. HOWEVER, WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF SUCCESSFUL SONGWRITERS MOVING TO NASHVILLE AND OTHER PLACES WHERE THEY COULD INCREASE THEIR LIKELIHOOD FOR EXPOSURE AND COMMERCIAL SUCCESS IS NOT WHAT IT ONCE WAS. ALTHOUGH SONGWRITING IS NOT A DYING ART, IT IS CERTAINLY NOT A PROLIFIC AS IT ONCE WAS. IN 2011, THE TEXAS HERITAGE SONGWRITERS ASSOCIATION DECIDED TO SEE IF THERE WERE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT THEY COULD MAKE TO REVERSE THIS TREND.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
