The Dallas building official who filed a lawsuit against the city's Board of Adjustment and Texas Card House won in court, dealing a swift blow to the Texas poker community, but it was far from a knockout punch.
Although the victory for plaintiff Andres Espinoza could be seen as damaging for card rooms across the state, the fight continues. Texas Card House Dallas will soon begin the process of filing an appeal.
Last month, in preparation for the Oct. 25 court date, Texas Card House CEO Ryan Crow told PokerNews he anticipates the case will eventually end up in the state's Supreme Court one way or the other.
