There’s no denying that poker in Texas is booming. Despite frequent legal troubles on its legality, and the occasional raid, players are still flocking to card rooms across the Lone Star State. Unfortunately, those cardrooms occasionally make headlines for all the wrong reasons including robberies, shootings, and the like.

That’s why player safety has become a major topic in Texas cardrooms, something Champions Club Texas is taking seriously as evidenced by their hiring of former U.S. Marshal Trent Touchstone as their new Director of Security.

A native Texan born in San Antonio, Touchstone played college football at Southwest Texas State and the University of North Texas (UNT).
