Several Dallas City Council members spoke in favor of poker clubs Wednesday, even as they approved more money for lawyers who’ve been fighting to close them.
“This is Dallas. We’re supposed to be a city that is pro-business and business friendly. This motion, if it’s adopted by council, flips the script here,” West said.“These establishments cannot be regulated. You cannot regulate what is illegal,” said Tom DuPree with the North Dallas Neighborhood Alliance.
The poker club operators claim they have a loophole in Texas law. They claim to be private clubs and not gambling establishments because they do not receive profit from the card games. “Our city attorney has been diligent in trying to remedy the situation and should be applauded for doing so,” DuPree said.
