Casino Proposal in Texas Drafted by State Legislators
On April 25, 2007, as time runs out on the current legislative session on the chances of widening the scope of casino gambling in the state of Texas, 2 American Indian Nations are requesting the House to allow them to reopen the casino facilities that Texas shut down about 5 years ago.
Back in 2002, former Attorney General John Cornyn triumphed in the Federal Court for the right to shut down the Speaking Rock Casino Facility in El Paso, Texas by the Tigua Indian Tribe and the Gaming Facility by the Alabama-Coushattas' in Livingston, Southeast Texas. Both tribes commented that shutting down the casino facilities hurt them badly and forcing them to cut back on the stipends that are given to tribal members, stop giving college scholarships and even cut back some benefits for their senior citizens.
The House Bill 10, which was discussed that day, will be the first gambling proposal to make it to a discussion in a session, which will end on May 28, 2007. The proposal will not allow gambling on the tribal held lands, but will instead give the tribal members immunity against criminal prosecution, a plan that would only require the vote of the majority, not a two-third vote that is usually needed to modify the state's constitution.
