Default BM Card rooms in Texas?

Just move to the TX, I certainly miss all the close cardrooms in cali. Are there any cardrooms in texas?

I just recently tapped back into online as well and it appears US citizens are unable to withdrawal so I'm stuck w/ out a game! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Where in TX are you? If you are near Dallas/FW the two OK casionos are your best bets and if you are to the east then Shrevport is another option.

There is one legal one, in Eagle Pass, TX. It's about 2 hours southwest of San Antonio. They have about 13-15 tables (I didn't really count). They have 3/6, 5/10 limit, with 2/5 and 10/20 NL on occasion. The place is subpar in comparison to the Louisiana casinos, and the chips suck ass. But hey, it's a place to play.

Winstar in Oklahoma north of Dallas and the Horseshoe and Eldorado in Shreveport, La are popular amongst Texan poker players, as well some of the other Louisiana casinos down in Southern Louisiana. Just depends on where you are living. Texas is a huge state.

Im not sure why you think this place is legal, but as a police officer in Texas, I can say Im 99% sure its not legal if a rake is being taken.

I really have no idea, but I thought this place shut down a few years ago?

I can say that it is 100% legal, because it is on the Kickapoo reservation, which is the only federally-recognized tribe in Texas, or at least the only one which meets the definitions under the statute that allows Native Americans to build casinos on their lands.
