You can bet on Texas to stand on its ground when it comes to sports betting prohibition.

The San Antonio Express News reported that the state is unlikely to pass a sports betting legislation any time soon even if the U.S. Supreme Court decides to strike down the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992.

According to political observers, Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott and members of the legislature are in different towards sports betting even if it means an additional $1.7 billion to the state coffers and the creation of more than 9,300 jobs.

Jim Henson, director of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas, attributed their apprehension to sports betting to the state leaders’ “conservative” ideals.
