There are lawmakers in Texas and South Carolina who aren’t afraid to shoot their shot – again – in trying to get sports betting-related bills through the local legislature.
History suggests that the odds may be long for those measures, as previous efforts have fallen short.
Nevertheless, the bills have been filed and the stage is set for the Texas and South Carolina legislatures to at least ponder legal sports betting in their upcoming sittings.
In Texas, Democratic Sen. Carol Alvarado filed Joint Resolution 16 last month. The measure proposes an amendment to the state constitution that would authorize sports betting and casino gaming at “destination resorts.”
