Texas is an interesting case study in that they tend to change their policy regarding online betting over the years and, because of this, some of the US-based sites have opted not to accept residents from the Lone Star State.   TVG restricts customers from Texas.

Other Prohibited States Include:
 Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands.  Most offshore online books do accept residents of these jurisdictions.

This list changes so always check prior to deciding to open an online racebook account.
