Could legal sports gambling expand into Texas? Cowboys owner Jerry Jones certainly seemed interested by the idea in an interview…Friday morning.
Jones suggested Texas could stand to benefit from the money gambling would bring to the state, and improve in areas like education. The topic came up after House Speaker Dade Phelan said he was open to bringing resort-style casinos to Texas in a brief interview with reporters Thursday. The Beaumont Republican said he believes voters would approve the constitutional amendment needed to expand gambling in the state.
Jones…thought it was time Texas got involved in the scene. “Well, I think it’s really a thing that needs to be addressed at this time.”
