If you want to play bingo in Texas, you will first need to obtain a license. There are several ways to do this. <\/p>\n

One way is to become a member of a bingo association. These associations usually have an application process and require members to abide by certain rules and regulations. <\/p>\n

Another way to get a license is to become a member of the Texas Lottery and Gaming Commission (TLGC). TLGC does not have an application process, but does have requirements that must be met before applying for a license, such as being a legal resident of Texas and having $5,000 in liability insurance. <\/p>\n

The TLGC also has an online licensing system where individuals can apply for a license without having to meet any requirements. Licensees must also abide by certain regulations, such as not allowing children under the age of 16 to play bingo, and being responsible for cleaning up any broken glass or other debris after games are played. <\/p>\n

If you do not meet any of the requirements listed above or if you wish to operate your own bingo hall, you will need to obtain a special permit from the Texas Department of State Health Services. Permits are only granted if the applicant can prove that they will operate their hall in a safe and responsible manner.
