GUADALUPE COUNTY — Nearly a dozen people at two local underground poker parlors have been issued citations for illegal gambling in the wake of a months-long undercover investigation by county officials.

Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Investigator Lt. Kevin Jordan said sheriff’s deputies, Department of Public Safety troopers and investigators who work for County Attorney Elizabeth Murray-Kolb raided a home adjacent to the San Antonio Raceway Friday night in Marion and shut down an illegal poker game, issuing 11 misdemeanor citations.

“We’ve been working an undercover investigation into citizen complaints about illegal gambling in the county since April,” Jordan said.

The investigation opened with a look into an allegedly illegal “Texas Hold ’em” game located at a residence in the 3100 block of State Highway 123 North.
