It's short for "transaction". There is a list here of rules that individual transactions must follow:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_rules#.22tx.22_messages
Some reasons that a transaction could be invalid are:
-The person trying to spend bitcoin doesn't have that much bitcoin.
-The person trying to spend bitcoin already submitted another transaction trying to spend the same bitcoin.
-The person trying to spend bitcoin can't prove that they are the owner of the bitcoin.
In addition, the block as whole that the transaction is in must follow these rules: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_rules#.22block.22_messages
