Eventually Texas will legalize it. When it becomes apparent that the $400M in revenue that is leaving the state could stay there, things will change.

I have witnessed the 11:59 phenomenon. A long line develops at the register with everyone holding a 12-pack and credit card at the ready. Easy to see who had more fun than planned on Saturday.

I think I heard some time back that MGM has already purchased land in the Arlington/Grand Prairie area for whenever Texas does get their ass in check.
I also heard a few years ago that Harrahs bought the old Astroworld property in Houston hoping for Texas to make casino gambling legal. The rumor hung on for a good bit. MHB Asset LP, a Fort Worth investment company bought it. Later the Houston rodeo bought half of the land.
For what it's worth, for a state with no gambling, I seem to lose $500 every time I visit the Indian reservation near Livingston, TX. Naskilla Gaming is going strong with Class II gaming.
