Dallas board restores Champions Social Club occupancy certificate for poker
Dallas's Board of Adjustment voted 4-1 to overturn the city's revocation of Champions Social Club's occupancy certificate, allowing it to offer poker. The city had revoked the certificate after issuing it, citing an error and concerns about illegal gambling; board member Michael Hopkovitz argued poker is illegal in Texas.
The vote determines whether Champions can offer poker at its Dallas club under the restored occupancy certificate.
