Why a new Texas-based stock exchange could be a boon for the state's economy

Listen

A new Texas-based national stock exchange has moved one step closer to becoming a reality. The Texas Tribune reports that the Securities and Exchange Commission has approved the Dallas-based Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE or "Tex-ee”), which aims to compete with the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq.
