good news

Well i don't live there but i think anytime i hear of poker being accepted and growing, its a good feeling
I am just tired of getting pieces and handouts of poker throughout the land instead of a nationwide resumption of our right to play poker and make our own decisions.

Well, its the first legal cardroom in Dallas, but not in Texas... I've played in legal rooms in Austin and Houston. But good for Dallas, the more large cities that embrace poker the greater the chance we can get some nationwide acceptance.

I'm thinking the author of the article was letting us know the Texas Poker rooms that have or do exist in the state of Texas are possibly not completely 'legal' given the 'murky laws'. So, maybe this is the first totally legal poker room in Texas? (that's my interpretation)

Over the past few years, poker clubs have popped up around the state of Texas in major cities such as Houston and San Antonio. They’re referred to as poker clubs instead of traditional card rooms due to some murky laws.
