Any other Texas folks

Thoughts? I know we’ve seen this before but now so many states have it.

Will it be different this time?

Never has come close before

I’ve always said Texas and Utah will be the last to get it

Texas has lost so much tax money to Louisiana and Oklahoma last 10-20 years it’s crazy

If the lobbyist are passing out enough money to the politicians from the gambling industry, anything is possible.

Great un-regulated books

State books not needed

Yeah 30+ years of governors George W, Rick Perry, Gregg Abbot plus most gerrymandered state in the union equals very conservative state legislature

Texas against gambling for the most part never understood why

Texas top 10 GDP in the world (2nd only to California in USA). Equates to less need for tax income from things like marijuana/gambling.

JJ, its all a front. All of these christian politicians say how they are "Godly" and "worship the lord" yet, they are the ones that are always getting busted with prostitutes and drugs.

If they would drop the facade and do what they really want to do, we'd have GAMBLING and whore houses on every corner.

Besides, they can all be bribed.

Texas has the no vote locked up men

yeah all the godliness and bible talk from those people has always been a fkn con

but its one they have to hold on to - so likely not happening for the gambling bill

Actually true

I’m back to un-regulated because Hard Rock Bet in Florida is garbage & slashed my limits again

If sports betting becomes legal in Texas so should pornhub
