I got this from here
April 3, 2007, AUSTIN, TX - A historic event took place on Tuesday at the State Capitol in Austin, TX, as a group of professional poker players, poker lobbyists, and even mere poker enthusiasts gathered before the Texas Committee on Licensing and Administrative Procedures to show their support for HB-3186, proposed legislation that, if passed, would both legalize and regulate the game of poker within the state of Texas.
Currently, the game of poker can be legally played, even for money, but it must be done in a private residence and no one can profit off of the game but the players. This means there can be no money taken out of any pots for any reason by anyone other than the players, and makes running a public card room illegal. This bill seeks to change all of that.
