Texas Stock Exchange Begins Trading in Dallas, With Listings Expected by Fall 2026

3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Jul 1

Summary

  • A phased launch starts this month with test stocks, making the Texas Stock Exchange the first exchange built and based in Texas; corporate listings are expected by fall.
  • Dallas is backing the exchange as a tangible step in its long push to build a Wall Street rival and recast itself as a U.S. financial hub.
  • That push comes as downtown is losing anchors: AT&T said in January it would move its global headquarters to the suburbs, while the Mavericks, Stars and Neiman Marcus also signaled departures.
  • City leaders are trying to offset those blows and years of rising office vacancies by using finance-led growth to revive a struggling downtown core.
