Texas lawmakers propose casino and sports betting ballot measures
Texas Representative Charlie Geren and Senator Carol Alvarado filed resolutions on 9 November proposing a public vote on casino gaming and sports betting on 2 November 2027. The measures require two-thirds support in both chambers to reach voters; each would cap casino licences at 10 and set a proposed tax rate of no more than 15%.
The proposals could create a route to casino and sports betting legislation in Texas if lawmakers and voters approve them.
