Legalizing Texas Poker Tomorrow

chris-ferguson-doyle-brunson1Will Doyle Brunson and other top pros from Texas see poker legalized in their home state soon?  Tomorrow the attempt will be made as Texas HB 222will be heard at the capital.  Once again, I will be testifying in hopes of making Texas Holdem legal in Texas.  In the past, most Texans have felt legalizing poker was a pipe dream; however, the bill from two years ago actually made it to the House Floor which was a milestone for Texas poker.  Although the bill died, everyone agreed we would have a great shot in two years.  Which brings us to… tomorrow.

I wish I had more notice to rally up a poker posse of media, pros, players and fans to show up for support tomorrow.  That being said, show up at the Capital tomorrow to show your support in legalizing poker in Texas!  HB 222 is scheduled sometime shortly after lunch, however, things can change rather quickly (but usually slowly) so follow me on twitter for any changes. 

I have no idea who will be testifying tomorrow.  In our last attempt we had Pokerati Dan, Clonie Gowen, Lyle Berman and poker legend Crandall Addington (who had some of the best old school stories).

See the news video below on the previous bill.
