Default Re: Texas Hold\'em in Texas

Getting this bill out of committee was a small victory, but finding enough votes to pass the full House will be much more difficult.

The date we need to watch now is Thursday, May 10th. That is the last day under House rules that most house bills can be considered on the daily calendar. If the bill does not pass the full House by the 10th, it is effectively dead (though it can always be added to a similar Senate bill moving through the process).

House rules can be tricky, and they have a nasty tendency to kill bills late in the session.
