Texas Stock Exchange Listings: Who Has Announced a Move So Far

Seven companies announced primary listing moves to TXSE from Sept. 10 to Sept. 18, 2026, led by Energy Transfer. The first five expect to open Oct. 5. Three ETFs are TXSE's only primary listings so far.

Seven companies said between Sept. 10 and Sept. 18, 2026 that they'd move their primary stock listings to the Texas Stock Exchange, and not one of them trades there as a primary listing yet. As of Sept. 20, TXSE's only primary listings are three ETFs, and two of those switched over from NYSE Arca on Sept. 16.

The seven announcements

Energy Transfer (ET), the Dallas pipeline operator, went first. It said on Sept. 10 it would move its common units and Series I preferred units from the NYSE and keep its tickers. Three affiliates announced the same day. Sunoco LP and SunocoCorp LLC are moving SUN and SUNC from the NYSE (Sunoco release, Finviz), and USA Compression Partners is moving USAC.

Texas Capital Bancshares (TCBI) followed on Sept. 14. The Dallas bank is moving its common stock and Series B preferred from Nasdaq, and CEO Rob C. Holmes called it "the logical next step." Its ticker is set to change from TCBI to TXCP on Nov. 9 (Nasdaq copy). Origin Bancorp (OBK) of Ruston, Louisiana, followed on Sept. 15 with a move from the NYSE.

Dillard's (DDS) rounded out the list on Sept. 18. The retailer is moving its Class A shares and the DDT capital securities from the NYSE. It's headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, but it's a Texas corporation, having reincorporated from Delaware in August 2025. Six of the seven are leaving the NYSE, and Texas Capital is the one leaving Nasdaq.

Our read

Line up the releases and the stated reasons are thin and mostly the same. Dillard's said the move "aligns" its Texas roots and retail presence with TXSE's technology platform, close to word for word what Energy Transfer said eight days earlier, and it added that Texas is its biggest market, with 54 stores (Dillard's release). Origin CEO Drake Mills said Texas "has played a central role" in the bank's growth (Origin release). None of the four releases we read cites Texas corporate law, the Business Court or a complaint about New York, and Texas identity is what they lean on.

Money comes up once. Texas Capital CEO Rob Holmes said TXSE's "shared listings approach" would leave an issuer in "a net positive cash position with the exchange" (Texas Capital release). The release doesn't put a dollar figure on that, so we can't size it, and when the bank said in August it was moving its two ETFs, its funds chief told American Banker cost wasn't a motivating factor.

Three of the four have a tie to the exchange that's on the record. Holmes called Texas Capital "a proud early supporter" of TXSE. TXSE CEO James Lee welcomed Origin as one of its "founding members." And the Wall Street Journal has reported that Energy Transfer's Kelcy Warren owns 30% of TXSE Group, which HPPR relayed. A new exchange opening with its friends isn't unusual. Our read is that it means most of the October debuts won't show whether a company with no ties to TXSE would pick Dallas over New York. Dillard's, where we didn't find a tie, comes closest to that test.

The October calendar

Energy Transfer, Sunoco, SunocoCorp, USA Compression and Dillard's all expect to open on TXSE on Monday, Oct. 5, 2026, which would make it the first day the exchange carries corporate primary listings, five of them at once. Dillard's and Sunoco say their last NYSE day as a primary listing is Friday, Oct. 2. Texas Capital expects to start Oct. 8 and trade under TCBI until the ticker change, and Origin expects Oct. 13. Our Texas exchanges page has the full schedule.

Until then the ETFs have the exchange to themselves. Texas Capital moved its Texas Equity Index ETF (TXS) and Texas Oil Index ETF (OILT) from NYSE Arca at the open on Sept. 16, 2026 (Texas Capital), and they became TXSE's first primary listings and its first ETFs. A day later Westwood launched a new fund there, the Westwood Salient Enhanced Power and Infrastructure ETF (PWRX), FOX 7 Austin reported. TXSE also trades every National Market System stock, but that isn't the same as a listing.

Three Texas exchanges

TXSE is a new, standalone exchange based in Dallas. The SEC approved it as a national securities exchange on Sept. 30, 2025. Live trading began July 10, 2026, in five symbols after four days of test securities, and the rollout finished on schedule July 31, when all National Market System symbols could trade there.

The two incumbents got to Texas first. NYSE Texas opened March 31, 2025, and it's based in Dallas too. Its first announced company was Trump Media & Technology Group, which said it would dual list there. Nasdaq Texas launched March 5, 2026, in San Antonio as a dual listing venue, with APA, Construction Partners, J.B. Hunt, Huntington Bancshares and ProFrac in its first group, plus Nasdaq itself.

A dual listing adds a Texas venue while the company keeps its New York home, and a primary listing transfer moves the home. All seven corporate announcements this month are primary transfers to TXSE.

Charter first, then listing

For the Energy Transfer group, the listing is the last step in a sequence that started with the legal home. Energy Transfer, Sunoco, SunocoCorp and USA Compression redomiciled from Delaware to Texas effective July 6, 2026, and two months later they picked a Texas exchange. Dillard's came at it from the other direction. It changed its state of incorporation in 2025, kept its Arkansas headquarters, and now it's taking its listing to Dallas. Our relocation feed logs charter and headquarters moves like these as they happen.

The banks are a separate case. Texas Capital is a Dallas bank with Texas in its name, and the move puts its stock on a Dallas exchange too. Origin is the second company on the list based outside Texas.
