DALLAS – Gambling isn’t legal in Texas… yet. But that doesn’t mean the city of Dallas doesn’t want to be prepared when it is. “And if we’re sitting around on our hands once it becomes legalized, it’s a malpractice for us as a city to not put processes in place and plan for welcoming casinos in,” Dallas City Council Member Chad West told us on Inside Texas Politics. “I guarantee you cities like Irving, Grand Prairie, certainly Arlington, are already looking at what happens in our city if legalization happens at the state level.”
