Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Sees Path to End Zone for Texas Sports Betting Legalization

Jerry Jones thinks political shifts in Austin shorten the odds of sports betting becoming legal in Texas. Last week, Texas shocked the nation as Democrats won key statewide races. Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa (D) will become Texas’ first Latina governor and the state’s first Democratic chief executive since Ann Richards served in the early 1990s. Lt. Gov.-elect Vikki Goodwin (D) pulled off a major upset against three-term incumbent Dan Patrick (R). James Talarico defeated Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the US Senate race, putting a Democrat in the seat for the first time in more than three decades.
