	(g)  In determining whether or, in the case of multiple
	applicants competing for a limited number of casino owner's
	licenses or slot establishment owner's licenses within a geographic
	area, to whom to grant a license, the Texas Gaming Commission shall
	consider the following factors:
	(1)  the relative prospective revenue to be collected

	slot gaming at the slot establishment and the overall economic
	impact of each competing applicant's proposed gaming and associated
	facilities;
	(2)  the relative number of residents of this state who
	would be employed in an applicant's proposed casino or slot
	establishment and any proposed associated hotel and nongaming
	businesses and the relative extent of the applicant's good faith
	plan to recruit, train, and promote a workforce that reflects the
	diverse populations of this state in all employment
	classifications;
	(3)  the relative extent to which an applicant's
	proposed casino or slot establishment and any proposed associated
	hotel and nongaming businesses could be reasonably expected to
	encourage interstate tourism to this state;
	(4)  the relative extent to which the scope, design,
	location, and construction of the applicant's casino or slot
	establishment and any associated hotel and nongaming businesses
	could be reasonably expected to contribute to developing a
	first-class gaming industry in this state;
	(5)  the applicant's experience in conducting licensed
	gaming operations and the applicant's financial ability to promptly
	construct and adequately maintain the casino or slot establishment
	sought to be licensed, including the experience of partners of the
	applicant, of affiliated companies of the applicant or its
	partners, of key personnel of the applicant or its partners, and of
	operating companies under contract with the applicant; and
	(6)  the percentage of equity interest in the applicant
	owned or to be owned by residents of this state.
	(h)  To ensure that a requisite level of economic development
	benefiting the people of this state accompanies each casino or slot
	establishment for which an owner's license is granted, the Texas
	Gaming Commission shall require an applicant, as a condition to
	receiving and holding an owner's license, to commit to building a
	casino-anchored destination attraction development project or slot
	establishment that includes total land and development costs of at

	deposited to the credit of the Texas casino and slot gaming fund.
	Except as provided by this section, the Texas casino and slot gaming
	fund may only be used for the operation of the commission and the
	administration of this section. If the money in the fund exceeds
	the amount necessary for the operation of the commission and the
	administration of this section, the legislature shall transfer any
	excess amount to the dedicated account known as the property tax
	relief fund in the general revenue fund. Money from the property
	tax relief fund may only be appropriated for a purpose that results
	in a reduction of the average school district maintenance and

	(l)  A casino gaming tax in an amount equal to 15 percent of
	the gross gaming revenue of the casino operated under the license is

	accordance with the procedures established by rule of the Texas
	Gaming Commission.
	(n)  Of the revenue from the taxes imposed by Subsections (l)
	and (m) of this section:
	(1)  one-thirtieth of the revenue is allocated to the
	municipality in which the casino to which the license relates is
	located and one-thirtieth of the revenue is allocated to the county
	in which the casino to which the license relates is located; or
	(2)  if the casino is located in an unincorporated
	area, one-fifteenth of the revenue is allocated to the county in
	which the casino to which the license relates is located.
	(o)  The comptroller of public accounts shall transfer the
	appropriate amount allocated under Subsection (n) of this section
	to the appropriate municipalities and counties not less than
	monthly in the manner the comptroller considers appropriate.

	the general revenue fund.
	(q)  The comptroller of public accounts quarterly shall
	determine the net amount of receipts collected from a casino or slot
	establishment from the sales and use taxes, hotel occupancy taxes,
	alcoholic beverage taxes, and franchise taxes imposed under general
	law, or from other taxes imposed under general law as provided by
	the legislature in general law, and shall deposit that amount in the
	general revenue fund. The net amount deposited may only be
	appropriated to fund the TEXAS grant program established under
	Subchapter M, Chapter 56, Education Code, or a similar program
	established by the legislature to provide grants to higher
	education students in this state.
	(r)  Not more than 10 percent of the total floor space of a
	casino or slot establishment may be used for gaming areas.
	(s)  Casinos and slot establishments are subject to all
	applicable state laws and local ordinances related to health and
	building codes, including rules adopted by the Texas Gaming
	Commission. A local ordinance or zoning law may not prohibit the
	development of a casino or slot establishment authorized by this
	section, except that a casino or slot establishment may not be
	located in an area that on January 1, 2013, was zoned exclusively
	residential, unless otherwise provided by commission rule.
	(t)  The commissioners court of a county may at any time
	order an election to legalize casino gaming under this section in
	that county. The commissioners court shall order and hold an
	election to legalize casino gaming under this section in the county
	if the commissioners court is presented with a petition that meets
	the requirements of this section and is certified as valid under
	this section.
	(u)  A petition for a legalization election must include a
	statement substantially as follows before the space reserved for
	signatures on each page: "This petition is to require that an
	election be held in (name of county) to legalize casino gaming in
	(name of county)."  A petition is valid only if it is signed by
	registered voters of the county in a number that is not less than
	three percent of the total number of votes cast for governor by
	qualified voters of the county in the most recent gubernatorial
	general election. Each voter must enter beside the voter's
	signature the date the voter signs the petition. A signature may
	not be counted as valid if the date of signing is earlier than the
	90th day before the date the petition is submitted to the
	commissioners court. Each voter must provide on the petition the
	voter's current voter registration number, printed name, and
	residence address, including zip code.
	(v)  Not later than the fifth day after the date a petition
	for an election under this section is received in the office of the
	commissioners court, the commissioners court shall submit the
	petition for verification to the county clerk.  The county clerk
	shall determine whether the petition is signed by the number of
	registered voters of the county required under Subsection (u) of
	this section. Not later than the 30th day after the date the
	petition is submitted to the county clerk for verification, the
	clerk shall certify in writing to the commissioners court whether
	the petition is valid or invalid. If the county clerk determines
	that the petition is invalid, the clerk shall state the reasons for
	that determination.
	(w)  If the county clerk certifies that a petition for an
	election under this section is valid, not later than the 30th day
	after the date of certification, the commissioners court shall
	order that an election be held in the county on the next uniform
	election date provided under general law that allows sufficient
	time to comply with applicable provisions of general law. The
	commissioners court shall state in the order the issue to be voted
	on. The county clerk shall notify the Texas Gaming Commission by
	certified mail, return receipt requested, that an election has been
	ordered. The ballot in a legalization election shall be printed to
	provide for voting for or against the proposition: "Legalizing
	casino gaming within (name of county)."
	(x)  The commissioners court shall give written notice of the
	results of the election to the Texas Gaming Commission not later
	than the third day after the date the election is canvassed.  If the
	majority of votes cast in a legalization election under this
	section favor the legalization of casino gaming, casino gaming
	authorized under this section is permitted within the county
	holding the election effective on the 10th day after the date the
	election is canvassed.  If less than a majority of the votes cast in
	the election favor the legalization of casino gaming, casino gaming
	is not permitted in the county, and a subsequent election on the
	issue may not be held in the county before the corresponding uniform
	election date one year after the date of the election. If in each of
	two consecutive elections within any county less than a majority of
	the votes cast favor the legalization of casino gaming, casino
	gaming is not permitted in the county, and a subsequent election on
	the issue may not be held in the county before the corresponding
	uniform election date five years after the date of the second
	election.
	(y)  It is a defense to prosecution for a gambling offense
	under general law that the action was authorized under this section
	or Texas Gaming Commission rule.

	out of, or within this state authorized under this section or a rule
	adopted by the Texas Gaming Commission are legal shipments of the

	1171-1178, prohibiting the transportation of gambling devices.

	the comptroller of public accounts, and each state or local law
	enforcement agency shall cooperate with the Texas Gaming Commission
	as necessary to implement this section.
	(bb)  The legislature by general law may impose additional
	restrictions or requirements for the conduct of casino and slot
