In the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 7, Jackson County social media was abuzz with news of The Shack Bar & Grill being raided the previous night.
According to a post on the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page by Sheriff Rick Boone “on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Jackson County District Attorney’s Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Edna Police Department, and Jackson County Constable Joel Price, they executed a response to reports of illegal gambling at The Shack Bar and Grill in LaSalle.”
The game Queen of Hearts was the reason for the raid, in which participants paid $5 to purchase a ticket for a chance to draw a card from a wall, with the winner being the one who picks the queen of heart card.
