The Lodge, a Round Rock poker room that was raided last month by state officials, is planning to reopen after a Williamson County Grand Jury declined to indict the owners who faced allegations of violating state gambling and money laundering laws.
Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission investigators conducted a two-year financial probe involving undercover operations and a raid that forced the club to close temporarily and lay off 144 employees.
“The decision reflects that the investigation conducted by TABC, including the March 10, 2026, enforcement action, did not support charges of criminal conduct, consistent with our position throughout,” the club’s owners wrote in a Tuesday statement posted on X. “We are thankful the grand jury carefully weighed the facts and law and decided in our favor.”
