备注	Texas issued its own treasury warrants throughout the Civil War years as the Confederate supply chain for printing materials grew increasingly unreliable. By 1864, the state was operating under severe paper and ink shortages, and local Austin production meant quality varied considerably from one printing run to the next. These warrants functioned as de facto currency within the state but were not legal tender in the strict Confederate sense — they circulated on the credibility of Texas alone. Surviving examples frequently show foxing and toning consistent with the low-grade wartime paper stock used in Austin. The S3406 series is among the later Texas warrants, issued when redemption at face value was already a theoretical rather than practical promise.
