Efforts to legalize casinos and sports betting in Texas are facing headwinds in the state House of Representatives. A dozen Republican freshmen stated this week that they’ll oppose “any attempt to expand gambling” in the current legislative session.
The newcomers replaced lawmakers who supported casinos and sports betting in 2023. They were joined by three returning GOP House members who formerly supported online sports betting, but now oppose it. Proposals to legalize casinos in Texas also face tough opposition.
