TEXAS Hold'em needs to be legal in TEXAS

[shipdapaper]

so i guess we go on to the next step huh?

I guess so. I'm a little confused on the process here, why was there no vote? Is it because an amendment was agreed upon on the floor and needs to be officially added?

Will it need to be voted on in this committee before moving on to a congress vote?

[lol_variance]

Looks like it goes before a legislative committee without amendments. I am rusty on Texas legislative process but I believe it now must pass the committee before it can be brought to the floor as a bill.

Edit: Damn, I just reviewed the process and it has to pass both chambers before going to the governor, who may approve or veto the bill. We got a long way to go with this.
