The Texas Gaming Association has a plan to address Texas’ education and transportation shortfalls.

Our proposal will dedicate $1 billion in new revenue for transportation projects and $1 billion for college scholarships each year.

Big Challenges

Texas is getting bigger. Our state consistently ranks near the top of the fastest growing states. Our exploding population has placed enormous strains on our infrastructure, and threatens the state’s long term ability to continue to foster a growing economy and create new jobs. Transportation funding has failed to meet the demands of a growing population, leading to gridlock in many parts of the state. Additionally, dramatically rising tuition costs at Texas colleges and universities have placed a huge financial burden on many Texas families, and for some, have placed the dream of higher education out of reach. The Texas of tomorrow will be largely defined by how well we educate our children and whether we put in place a modern and adequate transportation infrastructure.

Simple Solutions

The Texas Gaming Association has a plan to address our state’s challenges. Our proposal will invest in Texas by dedicating $1 billion for college scholarships and $1 billion in new revenue for transportation projects each year.

Texans spend approximately $6 billion in other states on gaming each year, resulting in a considerable amount of tax revenue that goes to pay for the schools, roads, and health care in neighboring states like Louisiana. Our plan would keep that money in our state, and at the same time make Texas a tourist destination for people in other states by building a limited number of world-class destination resort casinos across the state.

Our Commitment

The Texas Gaming Association is committed to educating Texans about the benefits of legalized destination resort casinos and encouraging passage of a constitutional amendment to allow a limited number of destination resort casinos in Texas. Our plan will create jobs, educate our children, and provide the money we need for highways.
