This year’s theme, “Seeking Understanding,” focuses on increasing awareness of problem gambling as a serious but often misunderstood mental health condition.

Texas is a big place!
In a state as large and diverse as Texas, no organization can single-handedly address the full array of challenges posed by problem gambling. Instead, the Texas Coalition on Problem Gambling (TXCPG) unites a spectrum of stakeholders from across the state to collaborate and coordinate policy, programs, and services to reduce the effects of problem gambling. Together, the members of TXCPG amplify and focus their collective efforts to improve outcomes for all they serve.
