The Texas Legislature is hearing testimony Monday on whether or not to legalize fantasy sports. This comes a couple months after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton equated fantasy sports to online gambling, which is illegal in Texas.

State Rep. Richard Peña Raymond, D-Laredo, filed House Bill 1457 which would classify fantasy sports as a game of skill and not of luck. Eight members of the Texas House have signed on to the bill as authors or co-authors.

“I play fantasy football. I have a lot of friends that do,” Raymond said. “I filed the bill just to clarify, but I think [fantasy football] is legal already … If you don’t think fantasy football is a game of skill, then you haven’t played it.”

Fantasy sports allow people to create their own leagues by drafting players to create a fictional team online using websites like DraftKings. The person that created a team with the highest overall stats wins.

Currently ten states have passed laws declaring fantasy sports legal contests of skill, according to the Texas Fantasy Sports Alliance.

“It is beyond reasonable dispute that daily fantasy leagues involve an element of chance regarding how a selected player will perform on game day,” Ken Paxton said in a statement.

State Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, filed a companion bill in the upper chamber. Her proposal has not been scheduled for a hearing.

“A lot of representatives acknowledge that fantasy sports is not a partisan issue, it’s a Texas issue,” Texas Fantasy Sports Alliance  spokesman Scott Dunaway said, adding that there are more than 4 million Texans who play fantasy sports each year. “We’ve been playing fantasy sports for decades.”

Paxton’s office declined to comment on Raymond’s legislation since it is currently pending.
