Re: Texas Poker Legislation goes to vote this week
Well I guess we have another 2 years of swat teams. What a brilliant use of tax payer money.

Re: Texas Poker Legislation goes to vote this week
Update as of 4pm CST: The House has plowed through 90 bills and is now on page 8 of their supplemental calendar (HB 2868). Our bill (HB 3186) is on page 21. 180 bills to go. Their pace has improved, but it still looks like they will run out of time.

Re: Texas Poker Legislation goes to vote this week
it's a longshot, but they could recess instead of adjourning and take up the bills not done today.... tomorrow. same chance as hitting perfect perfect !
it is early though and they are on page 9 ... 3186 is on page 21. i think they could get there by 2 or 3am.

Re: Texas Poker Legislation goes to vote this week
Since 4pm CST they have averaged 12 bills / hr. As of 8 pm CST there are 140 bills left to be heard before HB3186. So at that rate they will hear HB3186 around 8 am tomorrow morning. (Assuming they are still awake)
I heard rumor today about Perry calling a special session since there is so much still to be covered. But aside from that we are looking at 2 more years.

Re: Texas Poker Legislation goes to vote this week
They need to process about 275 bills to get to the poker bill. Even if they work to 1 AM thats a lot.

Re: Texas Poker Legislation goes to vote this week
I wonder if there's any chance they can skip to it?

Re: Texas Poker Legislation goes to vote this week
Looking at the calendar, I count 188 bills to be heard before HB3186. If they argue as much as they are on the current bill, which is a very simple bill about paying for volunteer fire departments (a whole 36 cents a year per person) then they could stay until next year and not get to all of them.
