It has been a little while since I last updated y\’all on the progress of our Texas Poker Bill (HB 3186). When we last left our little bill it had had a great hearing in the Texas House Committee on Licensing and Administrative Procedures. At the end of that hearing it was left pending and the real work began behind the scenes.
Your team has been busy…and successful. We anticipate it being voted out of committee very soon, but we need every poker player in Texas to do something between now and Monday afternoon. Call the legislators on the committee and let them know you support the regulation of poker, specifically HB 3186.
When you call, please remember a few things:
1) Be nice
2) Tell them specifically you support HB 3186
3) Ask them to support HB 3186 too
It will only take about 30 seconds a call and there are 9 members of the committee.
We are very close to getting this bill to the floor of the House, where we believe we may have enough votes to pass this thing.
Hopefullly, I\’ll be updating you with some very good news on Monday night!
