Summary
NYSE Texas is updating its fee schedule to change certain system fees linked to the Central Registration Depository (CRD), which is run by FINRA. These changes affect brokers and firms who use the CRD system to register and will take effect on January 2, 2026. This means some fees might go up or down, so users should get ready for the new costs starting early 2026.

Tiered Processing Fees per Registered Person
