Amid City's Attempt to Clamp Down on Legal Poker Rooms, Dallas Returns Texas Card House's Certificate of Occupancy
got approval from the city to run a membership club where people could play poker for money. As long as the poker games were taking place in a private establishment, the house didn’t take a cut of the bets and all the players had an equal chance of winning, the city said Texas Card House was allowed to do its thing.
The problem is the City Attorney’s Office, the City Plan Commission and City Council all approved Texas Card House, and nothing has changed about their business model since. Powell thinks the certificates of occupancy should be taken away retroactively because the city didn’t have a clear understanding of Texas law when it approved these businesses.
Now, the other poker rooms that had certificates revoked will work to get theirs back through the board.
