Texas Playbook: Inside Sports & Entertainment Law

Welcome to Texas Playbook: Inside Sports & Entertainment Law , brought to you by the State Bar of Texas Entertainment & Sports Law Section. In each episode, co-hosts Brent Turman and Daniel Hare sit down for a thirty-minute Q&A conversation with an in-house attorney working at a sports or entertainment company right here in Texas. These are the lawyers negotiating the deals, managing the risks, and navigating the legal landscape from inside the organizations that make headlines. Whether your clients play on the field, perform on the stage, or run the front office, this podcast gives you something you can't get from a CLE — candid, real-world perspective from counsel who live these issues every day. From player contracts and venue operations to content licensing, NIL deals, and everything in between, our guests share practical insights drawn from the unique intersection of Texas law and the business of sports and entertainment. If you represent clients in these industries or want to find a path to the in-house role of your dreams, pull up a chair. The playbook is open!
