In terms of allowing sports wagering in Texas, 69% of those surveyed were in support, with the lowest support total coming in at 57% among baby boomers. Overall, 75% of the 1,200 surveyed said they'd support the passage of the legislation - including all political parties, races, genders, and those who identify as born-again Christians. The resolution would legalize a limited number of resorts and facilities to do so. There is a 2023 push for casino and sports betting to become legal in Texas as we head into the new legislative session.
