Poker clubs, card clubs and game rooms lose the private place label starting September 1, 2027.
The bill rewrites the Penal Code definition of a private place for gambling offense purposes so that commercial gaming enterprises are expressly not private places. It defines a commercial gaming enterprise to include a for-profit poker club, card club, or game room, which reaches the owners, operators and players of those businesses. Starting September 1, 2027, gambling inside those for-profit clubs and game rooms can no longer be treated as happening in a private place.

90R2715 PRL-F By: Shaheen H.B. No. 1033 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to the definition of private place for gambling criminal offense purposes. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: SECTION 1. Section 47.01(8), Penal Code, is amended to read as follows: (8) "Private place" means a place to which the public does not have access, and excludes, among other places, streets, highways, restaurants, taverns, nightclubs, commercial gaming enterprises, schools, hospitals, and the common areas of apartment houses, hotels, motels, office buildings, transportation facilities, and shops. For purposes of this subdivision, "commercial gaming enterprise" includes a for-profit poker club, card club, or game room. SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to an offense committed on or after the effective date of this Act. An offense committed before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the offense was committed, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. For purposes of this section, an offense was committed before the effective date of this Act if any element of the offense occurred before that date. SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2027.
