Tuesday's election results could finally move Texas' future with gambling

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.

Luby’s Is Still Here, and So Is the LuAnn

If you grew up in Texas, you probably remember the tray. Brown plastic, a little damp from the stack, and way too much room for a kid with big eyes. You slid it down the rails at Luby’s past the Jell-O cubes and the pies, and somewhere around the fried fish your grandmother told you to pick one dessert. One.

You’d Never Guess This Unassuming Texas Restaurant Is A James Beard Award Winner

There’s a brick building in Taylor, Texas that looks like it has absolutely nothing to prove, and that’s exactly why you should trust it completely.

Know Your Pecan Pie and Where to Find the Good Ones

Pecan pie has been the official State Pie of Texas since 2013, when the Legislature passed a resolution saying no dish says “Texas” more sweetly. It took a while. The Texas Siftings humor paper was already calling pecan pie worthy of being a “real state pie” back in 1886, and the pecan has been the state tree since 1919.

Forget Walmart, This Texas Discount Supermarket Has Bulk Bins And Deals Worth Checking Out

The doors at this grocery store never lock. It stays open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the employees own the company. That second part gets me every time. I like how a supermarket can offer low everyday prices without requiring a membership card, while still providing optional digital coupons for extra savings.
