Warrant Alleges $1.35 Million in Deposits in Lodge Raid as Round Rock Club Stays Closed

A newly released affidavit details bank flows alongside undercover visits that now shape the TABC investigation.

Overview

  • The 22-page TABC affidavit cites roughly $1.35 million moved via an on-site Loomis cash vault into a Tempus Holdings account in early 2025 and lists suspected violations including money laundering and illegal gambling.
  • Undercover agents documented multiple poker sessions from April 2025 through January 2026, noting chip purchases, alcohol service, security presence and inconsistent enforcement of membership requirements.
  • The Round Rock venue remains shuttered with bank accounts and assets frozen, leaving employees without work and putting player chip balances and tournament payouts on hold.
  • Co-owner Doug Polk denies knowledge of any money laundering, has called the probe a "witch hunt," promises to make players whole and says he is cooperating with authorities.
  • No criminal charges have been filed as the inquiry continues; the San Antonio location remains open and the warrant names majority owners Doug Polk, Jake Abdalla and Jason Levin along with several minority investors.
