Default Re: legality of this type of home game? No rake, but a monthly fee?

in Texas, yes this is illegal. No one can gain economic benefit from the game. This means technically tipping the dealer when you win a pot is illegal. This means tipping the waitress who brought you a free drink makes it illegal. Charging a monthly fee is certainly illegal. But this is in Texas, the state of which our game is named after.
