CHAPTER 47. GAMBLING PC 47.01 contains only definitions germane to gambling so you could not be arrested, charged, or convicted under this section. PC 47.02, however, is "Gambling." An offense under this section is a class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $500. Every other offense under Chapter 47 (gambling promotion, keeping a gambling place, possession of gambling equipment, etc), is a class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a possible fine up to $4000.
