With Super Bowl 57 looming and March Madness — which features the NCAA men’s Final Four in Houston — a month away, the sports-betting conversation in Texas will only become louder. “This is the most momentum we’ve ever had. All of us are very confident in our chances to at least get this to a floor vote,” said Cara Gustafson, spokesperson for the TSBA. “We’re all very optimistic — granted, always cautiously optimistic in the Texas legislature — but we all believe that the time is now and that we’re in a really good place to actually get this to the November ballot.”
