Description
Shannon Brinkley sued the Texas Lottery Commission to obtain a declaratory judgment that certain machines, denominated "eight-liners," are not "gambling devices" as defined by the Texas Penal Code. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 47.01(B)(4) (West Supp. 1998). He applied for an injunction against enforcement of any criminal or administrative penalties for operating "eight-liners," and in a civil-rights action prayed for compensatory damages. The trial court dismissed his causes of action for want of jurisdiction. Brinkley appeals. We will affirm the judgment.
