The Texas Stock Exchange is a national stock exchange of the United States of America that is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. It began financing its operations in 2025 with funding from BlackRock, Charles Schwab, and JPMorgan Chase. Further investment came later that same year from both Goldman Sachs and the Bank of America Corporation.
The Texas Stock Exchange officially began trading on July 6, 2026. Its first CEO was James Lee. Other important people include Rick Perry, the former governor of the State of Texas, as well as Richard Fisher, the president of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank.
The purpose of the Texas Stock Exchange is to provide a secondary option to public companies that do not want to be listed on neither Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Already, many Fortune 500 companies seek to be listed on the Texas Stock Exchange as an alternative to the NYSE and and Nasdaq.
