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.
