HB 3110 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to civil asset forfeiture of digital currency or other similar property.

This bill would expand Texas civil forfeiture laws to include digital currencies (like Bitcoin), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and stablecoins as property that can be seized. It defines these digital assets as "contraband" if used in specific felony offenses, such as drug trafficking, financial fraud, or certain health care program crimes. Authorities would be able to seize these assets without requiring a criminal conviction in cases involving the listed offenses. This directly affects individuals holding digital currency who are suspected of involvement in the specified crimes.
