The odds of winning in the Senate currently remain a long shot. Lt. Governor Dan Patrick has declared any gambling bill from the House as D-O-A in the Senate, but Leach is not ready to fold.
Texas House members moved a step closer to a floor debate on expanding gambling in Texas.
"The Bill is in a good spot. We're building support every single day from legislators here and from Texans across the state. I think we're going to be able to get it up, get it across the finish line in the House," said Rep. Leach. Patrick, according to Smith, could offer up an online gambling vote in the Senate as a deal to get the House to reconsider positions on school vouchers and property tax cuts.Texas: The Issue Is — Gov. Abbott on school choice vouchers
A signal may have been sent April 17 when the House Speaker referred SB 8, the Senate's school voucher Bill, to the House Public Education Committee. This is the time of year when a lot of the debating doesn't happen on either chamber floor. "Right. This is when the legislature has an agenda in public, but is also doing a lot of private negotiating," said Smith.
