TEXAS
Section 47.01 prepares the reader with definitions:
"Gambling place": any real estate where gambling is occuring,
versus "Private place"
"Private Place": any real estate where gambling is occuring that
is not open to the public
Section 47.02 has a partical definition of "gambling" as any act of playing
and betting for money or any other item of value, a game of cards, dice, or
other. For a valid defense, you need to prove that all the players were
competing with equal odds, and that the gamling occured in private. Home
poker games are legal in Texas as long as the game is in private, there is
financial benfit except for money that is won, and all the players have
equal odds of winning. There have been a couple of instances of raids on
poker games in Texas but this is mainly due to the fact that there seems to
be some really big underground games which are played at clubs. This shouldn
't worry anyone hosting a casual game because the games that were busted
were basically underground casinos making tons of money. | o*******g
