#3 First step to "Nationhood" ?

No...maybe the first step in insuring statehood. $1B USD in gold is still a LOT of gold, and Texas having it under their own lock and key instead of that of the Feds insures that they have the clout to say 'no' about some things:

"We're the Federal Government; do what we say or we cut off X amount of money."

Texas (after checking the vault): "Suck it."

#4 This is also local politics - keep Texas tax money in Texas (instead of paying it to NY bankers).

#5 I see this as not only a move to keep Texas money in Texas, but a hedge bet if the Union comes apart.

#6 also note: State of Texas, state agencies and Texas citizens to store gold bullion and other precious metal.

In case the feds try to revoke the ability to own gold again?

#7 I'm glad to see TEXAS taking such precautionary steps, espec given that the so-called "AMERICAN DREAM" of the last Century will very soon be the OWG GLOBALIST "NORTH AMERICAN/AMERIKAN DREAM" of the 21st Century, wid Mexico + Canada + Greenland all seemingly or ideally getting par responsibilities for NORAM Security + Econ Prosperity, etc. NOT JUST THE US.

#8 Now, if Texas only had its very own little ol' sunshine factory...
