There’s a new push in the state capitol for legal casinos and sports betting in Texas right before the legislative session gets underway on Jan. 10.
If passed, the bill would authorize and regulate casino gaming at a limited number of destination resorts and facilities in Texas with San Antonio being one of them. The other destinations Alvarado mentioned would be Austin, Dallas and Houston.
The bill also states that facilities licensed by a proposed Texas Gaming Commission would require occupational licenses to conduct casino gaming and require the imposition of a tax. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has staunchly opposed any form of legalized gambling in Texas, saying the Senate would not have enough votes to send the amendment to the voters.
“It gives others that maybe were hesitant a second look and say, ‘we’re not exactly approving gaming, we’re just going to allow Texans to vote on it,’” said Alvarado. “Last session was the first time that we had a Democrat and Republican sponsoring the bill in the House and the Senate.”
