Is sports betting regulated or unregulated?
Unregulated
Texas is undoubtedly one of the biggest prizes available, but it will take a long and drawn out legislative process before we see legalized sports betting in the state.
Regulator details
No overarching regulator in the state, with the Texas Racing Commission dealing with racing and the Texas Lottery Commission overseeing the state lottery
Is there any specific legislation for daily fantasy sports?
No. The state AG issued an opinion that DFS is illegal gambling in 2016. FanDuel withdrew from the state and DraftKings pursued legal action. Legislative action stalled in 2017.
What legislation, if any, is currently pending?
None
