Truth

Son by the way a bit off topic, but regarding local government ... when (if ever) do you think the state of Texas will "grow up" and allow casinos over there? Now I'm not some huge gambler by any means, but I have always found it comical that Texas is so against them. Louisiana (particularly Lake Charles and Shreveport) make a fortune off of people driving over from Texas to get their gambling fix in.

Who knows. They should have done it a long time ago. The Texas GOP has got to bible thump and that doesn't allow for the devils games. I live in NM and we have casinos on Reservations here so I can go get my poker fix in.

Between the in-state bible thumpers and the out-of-state gambling interests who don't want to lose Texan business, we're not going to see casinos in Texas anytime soon. Which is unfortunate IMO.

Texas has indian casinos, as well. They are in the Del Rio area.

No, Texas has one sorry excuse for a casino on the Kickapoo reservation near Eagle Pass. Its not near any large population center (2 1/2 hours from SA is not near) and because of that its tiny and terrible. Well it was when I went there.
