Looking at this more closely (or from a greater distance, hard to say),
the outer-scope "tx" is used only after this inner-scope "tx", so in
fact there is no benefit to having the inner-scope declaration at all.

Removing it may save a stack variable (depending on how the compiler
optimizes), and shouldn't affect functionality.

Cheers, Andreas
