HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 22, 2006--With the popularity of poker growing every year, poker players in Texas now have someone lobbying for them in Austin. Founder of the Texas Association of Poker Players (TAPP), Wayne Long is serious about legalizing the sport of poker in the state of Texas -- and is doing something about it. Long has met with and intends to retain legal representation with a top Austin law firm and is enlisting support for the January 2007 legislative session.
The main goal of TAPP is to legalize the sport of poker. This would allow Texans to compete in special event tournaments, charity tournaments, play in poker rooms or clubs in public and play online internet poker, legally.
The Association's Web site, www.texasassociationofpokerplayers.com, features educational information and links to poker-related sites and a gift shop offering Association merchandise to "Support the Sport!"
"The Texas Association of Poker Players welcomes everyone who loves the game of poker and we think that number is in the tens of thousands," says organizer Wayne Long. "If poker players in Texas get on board and join the Association, we will have the support needed to show Austin that this is a serious sport played by millions around the country and thousands of Texans -- who want to play legally. TAPP invites everyone from beginner to pro to join our community and become a member."
For an annual standard membership fee of $25.00, Texas poker players become standard members in the Association and receive the official "Join Today" window decal, and full access to TAPP's member services.
To become a member of the Texas Association of Poker Players (TAPP), and to receive future updates, please visit the Web site at www.texasassociationofpokerplayers.com and sign up for a standard membership.
