First check whether ~/bin is part of your $PATH environment
variable:

$ echo "$PATH" | tr : '\n' | grep "$HOME"/bin | grep . && echo OK



Then check whether the script has its execute bit set:

$ find "$HOME/bin/tarx" -perm /u+x | grep . && echo OK



Then replace the contents of your script with the following
more resilient version:

#!/bin/sh
[ -r "$1".tar.gz ] && tar -xf "$1".tar.gz
