Two months after Texas Card House Dallas had its Certificate of Occupancy (COA) revoked, the poker room won an appeal with the Board of Adjustment (BOA) Tuesday by a 5-0 vote, meaning the card room can legally continue to operate.
The board met to discuss the legality of poker within the city. And one councilmember went so far as to accuse those who were trying to shut down TCH as being politically motivated.
"I'm pretty disappointed in this process, that it seemed like the opinion was changed either by political reasons or possibly public backlash," Kathleen Frankford, a board member, said during the meeting.
