The poll was conducted by the University of Houston’s Hobby School of Public Affairs as the Texas Legislature begins its session.

A poll showed Texans are in favor of banning THC products, but also of legalizing the use of marijuana recreationally.

A report looked at the opinions of Texans on legislation that would legalize different forms of gambling and marijuana use in the Lone Star State.

The study, which surveyed 1,200 Texas adults, found that more than 70% of Texans support the legalization of “destination resort casinos" in the state and more than 60% support the sale and use of marijuana for recreational purposes.

But most Texans think it’s time for a change. A survey released today by the Hobby School of Public Affairs at the University of Houston found that 62% of surveyed Texans want to legalize recreational marijuana use, and almost three quarters said the same about gambling.

AUSTIN, Texas — A new poll shows there's support in Texas to legalize casinos and loosen marijuana restrictions. More than 1,000 Texans were surveyed by the University of Houston recently and found nearly 80% of people supported expanding medical marijuana. Legalizing and decriminalizing recreational use also received bipartisan support.
