Two bills were filed in the Texas legislature that would change the protest threshold of property owners within 200 feet of a proposed rezoning. One bill includes an amendment to keep the current threshold for gambling, the other does not.

The city's Ethics Code can be reviewed at least once every five years thanks to a voter-approved proposition in the 2023 Charter Election.

There were three Irving City Council seats on the May 3 ballot, including a citywide seat.

The petition was filed a month after the Irving City Council approved rezoning for a destination resort near the site where Texas Stadium once stood.

State representatives have introduced a bill that would make it harder to protest rezoning requests like one sought by Las Vegas Sands in Irving.

Las Vegas Sand Corp. dropped the casino portion of its Irving rezoning request after a lengthy meeting earlier in the week, during which opponents of the plan turned out in droves.

Las Vegas Sands Corp. bought land in an area that includes the spot that once held Texas Stadium. Residents are concerned about plans to build a casino 鈥� if Texas legalizes gambling.

A proposed mixed-use development that would include a destination resort with casino gaming has received both support and opposition from area residents.

The city of Irving could approve rezoning an area that would allow for casino gaming in the event that casino gambling is legalized in Texas. Residents are pushing back.

Irving Planning and Zoning Commission will vote next week on proposed zoning for a destination resort connected to the Las Vegas Sands Corp. on the site of the former Texas Stadium, but critics are against its potential for casino gambling.

The Texas Constitution requires voter approval to authorize gambling in Texas, but the issue has traditionally faced intense opposition from religious groups, various law enforcement advocates and state lawmakers who don鈥檛 want to see gaming in the Lone Star State.

With plenty of patience and money, the industry is extending its multi-year campaign to bring legal casinos and sports betting to the state.
