Texas gambling push renews as lawmakers eye casinos
Texas faces a renewed push for destination resort casinos as gambling interests urge revenue for education and services. Opponents warn of addiction and crime, while proponents cite neighbors and a $14.3 billion budget surplus as leverage. Democratic and Republican voices weigh licensing up to 12 casinos and funding school scholarships through casino revenues. Local votes would need constitutional amendment approval and city consent.
