Dear TPM Customers:
Due to the continued adverse weather conditions affecting our area, we will be closing our offices on Monday, August 28th. At the present time, we anticipate reopening on Tuesday, August 29th if weather conditions improve as anticipated.
We want to thank those of you who have written offering your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We feel very fortunate that we may have escaped the worst of it, but flooding and power loss in our area is significant. Thankfully, our employees are all well. Areas directly along the coast have been ravaged, and Houston continues to receive a deluge of rain, as I am sure you have seen reported on the news. Please keep those families in your prayers.
Our ordinary course of operations will be affected for at least the coming week. We ceased all metal shipments on Thursday, and we do not expect to resume shipping until Wednesday at the earliest. Many of the roads are no longer navigable for UPS. As you know, we take great pride in shipping quickly, but customer shipments will be delayed during this week. We will ship out all orders as soon as it is safe to do so.
There will be no customer support by phone until Tuesday the earliest, and incoming payment confirmations will be delayed by at least one day. We will continue to respond to inquiries via email in the interim, and we will work to answer those inquiries as expeditiously as possible.
Normal online trading will remain available 24/7.
We apologize for any inconvenience during this time and we thank you again for your prayers and well wishes.
Sincerely,
Tarek Saab
President & Co-founder

In 2015, Texas Governor Greg Abbott in 2015 signed into law an act establishing a state bullion depository at no cost to taxpayers. He intends to enter into a public-private partnership with a qualified company to provide a secure, physical depository and an agency of innovation.
A non-banking financial facility will provide Texans with secure resources for a wide range of gold-backed financial services privately sponsored and publicly supervised by the state of Texas.

*During long holiday breaks, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, please note that we do "hold" packages from shipping on certain days for security reasons (packages lingering in sort facilities around holidays pose higher security risks). We believe this grace period is in the customer's best interest, and could potentially impact the 3-day shipping window slightly.

VICTORIA ADVOCATE - July 30, 2016
The law establishing the Texas Bullion Depository is not about need. It is about value, and the value to the state is realized through revenue, opportunity, and diversification.
First, the depository will cost taxpayers nothing. Zero. The fact that no fiscal note was attached to the bill was the primary reason the bill passed almost unanimously in the House (140-1) and Senate (29-2).
Furthermore, the depository will generate revenue for the state from operations. Since the facility will be funded privately, an additional $20-plus million will be invested into the Texas market, along with at least 50 new jobs.

VICTORIA ADVOCATE - July 17, 2016
The model that sits on the table in Texas Precious Metals' privately owned depository is small.
But the idea captured by the miniature walls is a Texas-sized proposal in response to a uniquely Texas bill.
The model is the Shiner business' proposal for a more than 46,000-square-foot incarnation of the Texas Bullion Depository. The depository is a product of House Bill 483, which introduced a public-private partnership for the only state-owned depository for precious metals such as silver and gold.
