AUSTIN, Tex. (Mar. 17, 2015) A bill legalizing the constitution by authorizing the use of gold and silver as legal tender was introduced in the Texas state Senate last week.


Introduced by State Sen. Konni Burton (R-10) on March 11, Senate Bill 1245 (SB1245 (https://legiscan.com/TX/bill/SB1245/2015)) re-affirms gold and silver as legal tender in the state of Texas on a voluntary basis. Under the bill, individuals would be free to “use gold or silver coin or gold or silver bullion as legal tender in this state for the payment of any private or public debt.”


This bill would mark the first step toward currency competition. If sound money is given a foothold in the marketplace against Federal Reserve notes, the people would be able to choose the time-tested stability of gold and silver over the central bank’s rapidly-depreciating paper currency. The freedom of choice expanded by SB1245 can allow Texas residents to secure the purchasing power of their money.


COMPANION BILL
SB1245 works hand-in-hand with another bill filed in the state Senate this year. Introduced by Burton and Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, Senate Bill 989 (SB989 (https://legiscan.com/TX/bill/SB989/2015)) would create a state bullion depository.

Excellent! Then if they offered a slight discount for taxes paid in gold or silver and offered a slight bonus for state employees and contractors who take payment in gold or silver, you would very quickly have a working alternative currency.
