The North Texas Commission is forming a committee of business and community leaders to look into issues related to destination resorts and casino gambling as the push for legalization continues to pick up steam ahead of the 2025 legislative session.

The “exploratory committee” will study the implications of destination gaming and make recommendations regarding issues like economic development, workforce demands, infrastructure requirements, transportation and public safety impacts. NTC Chief Operating Officer Patrick Brophey said elected officials, tourism leaders, economic development officials, chambers of commerce members and representatives from religious and faith-based organizations are all invited to apply, with plans to launch the committee in the fall.
