Poker Legalization In Texas

Reply Subscribe
Lawmakers in the state of Texas have finally realized what many residents have been saying. The Licensing and Administrative Procedures Committee has passed through a Bill that would legalize the game of poker in Texas. The vote was 6-3 in favor of the Bill. The Bill is aimed at giving local communities the right to vote on whether to allow poker.

(It is currently legal to play poker in Texas, but the house cannot profit from the games. Once the house or the dealers profit, the game becomes illegal. The new Bill would call for establishments to obtain poker licenses, and then to be taxed on their winnings).

Conservatives and Liberals will both back Barney Frank's efforts in the USA to have the prohibition on online gambling lifted.
