They do not charge rakes from the pot, which would be far more lucrative but also put them in the cross-hairs of authorities.
The card rooms too are clever about their business. The lawyer wants to challenge the Texas Penal Code’s Chapter 47, which allows some wiggle room for interpretation in cases when these types of games are taking place in “private spaces.” But what has been an exemption for games held between friends at home, is now quickly turning into an excuse to launch card rooms in Lubbock, Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antoni and well across the state, argues Lavery. That is unless Lavery’s lawsuit succeeds. Dealing Away with Card Room’s “Illegal” StatusĬard rooms, Lavery contends in his lawsuit, are mostly relying on gray area legislation which does not quite clear them to operate as a legitimate business but, then again, it doesn’t stop them completely. He is mostly going after the properties in his area, including the Card House in San Antonio, which are part of a larger trend in the state. A recent report by The San Antonio Express-News found out that Chicago-based lawyer Mark Lavery has decided to go after card rooms, challenging what he considers to be their illegitimate operations.
