Dear Sirs:

          Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
I hereby certify on behalf of Reserve Tax-Exempt Trust ("Registrant"), a
registered management investment company (the "Trust"), that the form of the
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for the Trust and its
investment series that would have been filed under Rule 497(c) does not
substantively differ from that contained in the Trust's Post-Effective Amendment
No. 39 to its Registration Statement on Form N-1A, which was filed
electronically with the Commission on July 31, 2000.

                                     Very truly yours,


                                     By: /s/ MaryKathleen F. Gaza
