Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to legalize wagering in this state on certain sporting events.

HJR 134 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Texas to legalize sports betting on certain events. It would specifically permit the legislature to authorize betting only through four types of entities: existing professional sports teams as of January 1, 2025; pre-2025 golf tournaments held in Texas; Class 1 racetracks operating by that date; or their designated representatives. The amendment requires voter approval in the November 4, 2025 election, with the ballot asking voters to support "authorizing the legislature to legalize wagering in this state on certain sporting events." If approved, it would change the Texas Constitution to permit regulated sports betting under these specific conditions.
