Dan Patrick’s election loss as Texas lieutenant governor changes the discussion of legalized gambling in this state, but it doesn’t amount to a wave of a wand that means you can plan to bet the Cowboys-Giants game from your phone sitting in a Fort Worth restaurant in September 2027. While gambling has become legal across the majority of this country, Texas sticks to its Alamo heritage as a holdout surrounded by betting on all borders. Playing the role of William Travis was Patrick, with Gov. Greg Abbott as Jim Bowie. Not sure who is Davy Crockett, but for years Texas successfully fought back legalized gambling. Only the very brave Republican in the Texas government dared to agree with any bill on this topic for fear of crossing Patrick; he runs the Texas Senate and was notoriously vindictive against those who disagreed with him publicly. With Patrick set to be replaced by Austin Democrat Vikki Goodwin, and Abbott by Austin Democrat Gina Hinojosa, a topic that has for the past few years been pushed deep into Palo Duro Canyon will likely be a priority. For the first time, a Texan can envision a future with legalized gambling possible within its borders.

Appointed school board managers in some of Texas’ districts under a state takeover said Friday that they are preparing to be out of a job as soon as January. Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa campaigned to stop state takeovers in public schools and to replace Texas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath with an educator on her first day in office, which would be Jan. 19.
