I haven't heard of any changes, any bill brought up to make changes doesn't make it out of committee,

gambling is outlawed in the state constitution so unless a major national change happens

it doesn't seem likely....., of course they have other forms of gambling that are legal,

make it make sense lol👍

Technically, no... but yes, kind of. It's complicated.

The official law in Texas is that gambling and playing poker for money is illegal. But there are a ton of poker rooms in Texas who get through a loophole, and take no rake, but charge players by the seat per hour.

Is it legal to play poker at home in Texas?


But for now, the law states that under certain statutory conditions, it is legal for individuals to play poker or other casino activities in a private place. The law is defined as "a place to which the public does not have access."Jun 6, 2024

....yep👍

usually you can play in your house if nobody is taking a rake or charging in another way .
