Arkansas legislation defines it:
Missouri legislation defines it:
Florida legislation defines it:
Texas legislation states:
Texas did not explicitly define it within the confines of HB1056, but I suspect it's a well established legal term in Texas. It means a valid specie/medium of exchange for the payment of debts. I'm really not sure what point you are trying to make.
My point is that "legal tender" does not have to be accepted as a form of payment. A grocery store, or any other store, has no legal obligation to accept gold, silver, dollar bills, or any other "legal tender".
The stage is set for nothing to be accepted for payment except for CBDCs.

If US dollars are legal tender, why can businesses refuse to accept them as payment for goods or services?
U.S. dollars are legal tender, meaning they must be accepted for debts owed to creditors, as mandated by the Coinage Act of 1965 (31 U.S.C. § 5103). However, businesses are not legally required to accept cash for goods or services in a transaction unless a debt has been incurred (e.g., a tab or invoice). This distinction arises because a sale is considered a voluntary exchange, and businesses can set their own payment policies, such as accepting only digital payments or specific denominations, as long as they comply with state or local laws.
Some businesses refuse cash due to convenience, security concerns, or operational costs, though this can raise issues of accessibility for unbanked customers. Certain states and localities, like New York City and San Francisco, have passed laws requiring businesses to accept cash to address this, but no federal law mandates it for all transactions. If a business refuses cash, it’s within its rights unless local regulations say otherwise or a debt is involved."
