With a staggering 139-2 result in favor of the amendment, the proposed provision could soon find its place in the Texas Bill of Rights.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed amendment text is as follows: \u201cThe right of the people to own, hold, and use a mutually agreed upon medium of exchange, including cash, coin, bullion, digital currency, or scrip, when trading and contracting for goods and services shall not be infringed. No government shall prohibit or encumber ownership or holding of any form or any amount of money or other currency.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>100% up to 5BTC + 100 <strong> Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

The group argues that forcing individuals to rely on financial institutions rather than using their preferred currency fosters an invasive state apparatus.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong><strong>100% up to $1000 + 25% Cashback!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

Moreover, it would protect cryptocurrency users from potential governmental overreach, thus paving the way for increased crypto adoption in Texas and potentially setting a precedent for other jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
