1) The State Lottery Act, Tex. Gov’t Code ch. 466, specifically §§ 466.020(e) – (f) (Attachment I);

4) Tex. Gov’t Code §§2054.515, 2054.137 and 2054.161.

Proposers responding to this RFP are expected to provide the Texas Lottery Program with information, evidence and demonstrations that will permit awarding a contract in a manner that provides the best value to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation will not relinquish control over lottery operations. The Successful Proposer shall function under the supervision of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Its operations will be subject to the same scrutiny and oversight that would apply if all operations were performed by Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation employees.
