This is what I found:

https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/faq/raffles-and-casino-poker-nights-in-texas-frequently-asked-questions

Raffles can only be held by "a qualified religious society that has been in existence in Texas for at least 10 years; a qualified volunteer fire department that operates fire fighting equipment, provides fire-fighting services and that does not pay its members other than nominal compensation; a qualified volunteer emergency medical service that does not pay its members other than nominal compensation; or a qualified 501(c) tax-exempt, nonprofit organization that has been in existence for at least three years may hold raffles in Texas. Individuals and for profit businesses may not hold raffles."

11u majors. He plays for DBAT Elite now but played 10u for the Dallas Patriots last year. We had a kid from Longview on our team then. Wish we still had him now on the new team. I have a 7u team for my younger son too, so I'm at a ton of tournaments. What age is your son?

From my understanding, the raffle itself (regardless of the prize) would be illegal.

not if everyone keeps their mouth shut!

Sure, and I appreciate the offer, but instead of funding my kid's team (because I think they'll sell 600 tickets), would you consider this instead?

It's a foundation that brings baseball to kids with special needs and disabilities. My 7 year old's team (that I coach) is doing a fundraiser for the foundation on 2/21 in Frisco. If you'd like to donate there, I'd be happy to record it with the pledges the team collects. It's also tax deductible since the foundation is a recognized non-profit.

Thanks, Yale. That's a solid move, and one of the reasons I love this site. We have some top shelf a-holes here, but just about everyone of us jumps at a chance to help out.
