Linking Statement

Links to the Texas Lottery Website

Advance permission to link to the Texas Lottery website is not necessary; however, be aware that website subpages may change at any time without notice. Entities and individuals linking to the website are encouraged to verify link accuracy periodically.

Entities and individuals linking to the website shall not capture pages within frames, present website content as its own, or otherwise misrepresent website content. Furthermore, they shall not misinform users about the origin or ownership of the content, or in any way attempt to modify the content and then present it as the content of Texas Lottery.

Certain information on the website may be protected by trademark and copyright laws and otherwise protected as intellectual property. Protected intellectual property must be used in accordance with state and federal laws and must reflect the proper ownership of the intellectual property.

Linking to individual graphics or tables within our pages, which places the downloading burden on our servers, may be considered an inappropriate use of state resources.

Any link to the website should be a full forward link that passes the client browser directly to the appropriate page on the website unencumbered. The “Back” button should return the visitor to the original site if the visitor wishes to back out.

Links from Texas Lottery Website

Texas Lottery may choose to link to external websites that would provide a service to our visitors. The external website’s content must be appropriate to the purposes of the Texas Lottery. Links will not be approved to commercial sites which charge a fee for products or services online. (Notices of the availability of publications or notices of conferences that charge a registration fee are not commercial sites and may be considered for linking.)

Linking to an external website does not constitute an endorsement of the content, viewpoint, accuracy, opinions, policies, products, services, or accessibility of the site. Any mention of vendors, products, or services is for informational purposes only. Texas Lottery reserves the right to remove links to external sites if they are inaccurate, inactive, or inappropriate.

The Texas Lottery does not enter into reciprocal link agreements, although we may provide links to sites that are appropriate to our mission and goals. Our creation of a link to a site does not obligate that site’s owner to provide a link back to the Texas Lottery website.

External Websites

Upon leaving the Texas Lottery website and linking to an external site, the policies governing the Texas Lottery website no longer apply and users are subject to the external site’s policies. Questions and concerns regarding the information or services provided by a linked site must be directed to the entity or individual responsible for that site, rather than to the Texas Lottery webmaster.
