Alabama-Coushatta To Fight For Texas Casino - HOUSTON, TX - The Alabama-Coushatta Indian tribe of East Texas plans to open a casino sometime before Christmas, expecting to fight a legal battle with Texas Attorney General John Cornyn. Cornyn said he will seek to have federal courts order the Alabama-Coushatta casino closed, just as he fought in court to close the Tiguas' Speaking Rock casino near El Paso. "The law is clear on casino gambling in Texas," Cornyn said. "It's illegal. The federal law that granted the Alabama-Coushatta tribes of Texas federal status specifically states that all gaming activities prohibited by Texas are prohibited on the reservation." In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, the tribe argues that there is no difference between the games it plans to offer at the casino and the types of gambling that the state offers. Cornyn's office maintains that while Texas has a lottery and some other limited gambling, casino-style gambling is forbidden.
