Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s take on the mood in the state’s Senate regarding gambling expansion legislation is the same as it has been throughout 2023. It may take a Texas-sized effort to move him off that position, too.
As the Texas legislature is wrapping up a series of special sessions, it doesn’t appear that gaming expansion will be part of the agenda. Patrick is adamant that bringing such a bill forward would be futile.
In a recent interview with CBS News Dallas, Patrick spoke about the legislative issues the Texas Senate is taking on during the cavalcade of special sessions. The Texas legislature normally only meets for a few months in odd-numbered years.
