Default How Many People Leave Texas to Go Gamble

I would like to see if anyone knows where to find out the number of people that leave Texas to go and gamble elsewhere. There has to be a resource data base that would know this kind of thing.

That's easy. Among Texans who gamble, all of them leave the state to do it.

LOL- I am trying to find a state agency or the like that has some real numbers. We are putting together a LARGE project here in Texas that has to do with gaming.

Nope, Except for the state lottery and non-profit organization Bingo all gambling is technically illegal in the state. Kinda hurts our rough and tumble image, huh.

Has anybody challenged the legality of such prohibition ...?
To the State Supreme Court ?

It is a legal professional service

. America is supposed to be the land of the free.

Anything legitimate should be free...

Theoretically,a cruise ship can run from Houston harbor to 6-12 miles in international waters & then offer gambling,which also can be tax free,sine it is income earned outside USA...
