“The Texas Destination Resort Allianc
“The Texas Destination Resort Allianc e is proud to support State Representative Geren’s legislation,” said Matt Hirsch, a spokesperson for the association. “Texans spend billions of dollars each year in neighboring states that have casino gaming, money that should benefit the people of Texas. These destination resorts will bring massive economic benefits to the state, including tens of thousands of jobs.” Both resolutions are just simply the language that would show up on a ballot should the measure pass both chambers of the Legislature and make it to an election. The enabling legislation, which would provide details on how the law would work, has not been filed. Hirsch said he expects the legislation to be filed in both chambers within the next week.
