State Senator Carol Alverado from Houston, just introduced a bill with a constitutional amendment to legalize casinos and sports betting.  According to KRIS 6 News...

The amendment would create the Texas Gaming Commission to be the regulatory agency. It would establish four casino resorts in major Texas cities that have over two million people. The bill specifies there are different levels to gaming licenses and a lower license would allow gambling in smaller cities across Texas.

Sports betting IS CURRENTLY not legal in the state of Texas unless you are using an offshore site.  Texas has not legalized domestic sports betting like DraftKings or BetMGM while in the state of Texas. That could change with the passing of this bill as well.

The bill introduced language that would use the revenue from such Casinos and Sports Betting towards education and public safety. Currently, money from Texas Lottery funds supplement public education.
