latest...and doesnt sound promising
"Commission chairman Rolando Pablos, whom Gov. Greg Abbott appointed to the board last week after former chair Robert Schmidt stepped down from the leadership role, made clear during the meeting that he was in favor of a repeal. After the vote, he said the commission might as well begin taking steps to shut itself down." http://www.texastribune.org/2015/12/...rical-racing-/

A state judge in South Texas signed a temporary restraining order Monday that has given hope to the state’s struggling horse and dog racing industries.
With his order, state District Judge Leonel Alejandro halted an effort by conservatives in the Legislature to do away with a type of gambling called “historical racing.” The Texas Racing Commission was scheduled to vote Tuesday morning to repeal a rule to allow the relatively new form of betting. http://www.mystatesman.com/news/news...t-vote-/nqMPN/

I hope the ADW & purse match bills pass. I'm 2hrs away from LSP, but go to OK Casinos to wager ( 20 min. drive). I would also like to see the BC come back to TX.

There is a lot of potential here in Texas for great racing and gambling revenue but they dont take advantage of it.
