SJR 52 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas to conduct gaming on certain lands under state law; limiting certain taxes and fees.

SJR 52 proposes a constitutional amendment authorizing the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas to operate gaming (including mobile gaming) on specific non-reservation land outside their Eagle Pass reservation boundary. The amendment would require gaming to be regulated jointly by the tribe and the Texas Secretary of State, with tax rates and fees limited to the same levels applied to other licensed gaming facilities in Texas. It applies only to gaming authorized by future state law after January 1, 2025, within 200 miles of the tribe's reservation. The amendment must be approved by voters in the November 2025 election.
