DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) –Could casino gambling and sports betting be in the Lone Star State’s future?
Two state lawmakers are backing bipartisan legislation that seeks to legalize such.
The bills would allow four casino’s to be built in Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston and San Antonio and would also legalize sports gambling.
Three federally-recognized Indian tribes would also be able to expand their gambling.
The bills require a two-thirds vote because it would have to overtune legislation written in the Texas Constitution.
Texas voters will then have the final say on whether-or-not to approve the gambling expansion.
