The Texas AG's office is still providing opinions, and it's business as usual. Paxton is also running for re-election unopposed in the Republican primary. It doesn't appear the indictment...the federal version of which he's already beaten...has slowed him down at all.
I can see this all playing out just like daily fantasy has in Texas:
1. Negative AG Opinion comes out.
2. Some clubs get scared and shut down. The remaining clubs perhaps face enforcement actions.
3. A few legislators take it up in the next Lege session in 2019.
4. A poker club legalization bill dies in committee just like daily fantasy legalization legislation did in 2017.
Game...set...match.
