Overview

The Bingo Enabling Act governs charitable bingo in Texas, setting the terms under which qualifying nonprofit organizations may conduct bingo games and under which manufacturers and distributors may supply bingo equipment and supplies. It establishes a licensing system — covering eligibility, applications, temporary and amended licenses, fees, bonds, and disqualifying criminal convictions — and vests a regulator with rulemaking authority, enforcement officers and investigators, and power over the conduct of games, including approval of bingo cards. It also funds regulation through license fees and prize fees, and provides for an advisory committee, advisory opinions, licensee training, and public access to information.
