Filing venue
Where to File in Texas
Texas has not legalized mobile sports betting as of early 2026, but litigation targets DFS (daily fantasy sports) operators and offshore platforms accessible to Texas residents. The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act (DTPA, Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 17.41 et seq.) provides treble damages for knowing violations. Texas courts exercise personal jurisdiction over out-of-state operators that direct marketing and products at Texas consumers. Cases may be filed in any of Texas's four federal districts or in state district courts. Harris County (Houston) and Dallas County are plaintiff-favorable venues.

Exposure in Texas
Texas's population exceeds 30 million, making it the largest untapped legal sports betting market in the country. Despite illegality, an estimated 3-5 million Texans participate in some form of sports wagering through offshore platforms, DFS products, or cross-border betting in neighboring states.

Industry estimates suggest Texas residents wager over $6 billion annually through unlicensed offshore platforms, illegal bookmakers, and DFS operators that plaintiffs characterize as de facto sports betting. The absence of state regulation means these operators have no responsible gambling obligations.

DraftKings and FanDuel operate daily fantasy sports contests in Texas under the argument that DFS is a game of skill, not gambling, under Texas law. Plaintiffs allege these contests function as gambling and that operators market them as a substitute for illegal sports betting.
