Texas lawmakers voted to include the holding and use of digital currencies in the state bill of rights. The bill states that no branch of government may prohibit or hinder the possession or holding of any form or amount of money or other currency. The House of Representatives has one more vote on the bill, and then it goes to the Senate for a vote by the people; if passed and signed, it will give the people of Texas the right to use cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
