About Depository Contractor

Lone Star Tangible Assets LP (LSTA) is the company contracted by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts to operate the Texas Bullion Depository®.  

LSTA is a Texas-based holding company operating a variety of businesses within the precious metals industry, including the United States Gold Bureau (www.usgoldbureau.com).  Directly and through its subsidiaries, LSTA has been a driving force for the creation of better client experiences in the precious metals industry. Although the markets for physical precious metals are generally unregulated, LSTA has required its operating companies to conduct business as if they were regulated — working to set a higher standard of accountability for all industry participants. 

Lone Start Tangible Assets LP is approved under Treasury Regulation Section 1.408-2(e) as a nonbank trustee, making it eligible to facilitate deposits, storage and distribution of IRA investments in precious metals held in the Texas Bullion Depository.

LSTA and the Comptroller’s office work together to ensure transparency and accountability are integrated into the core of operations at the Texas Bullion Depository.
