HB 3201 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the licensing and regulation of lottery couriers by the Texas Lottery Commission; requiring an occupational license; authorizing a fee.

HB 3201 creates a new occupational license for "lottery couriers" in Texas, defined as individuals who act as agents for players purchasing lottery tickets. The bill requires these couriers to obtain a license from the Texas Lottery Commission and pay a fee, while also authorizing the Commission to conduct criminal background checks on applicants. This directly affects people who currently serve as ticket-buying agents for others, bringing them under the Commission's regulatory oversight. The key provisions establish licensing requirements, background check authority, and fee collection mechanisms for this specific role.
