TEXAS RACING ACT > ALLOCATION OF RACING DAYS
Short Summary
The provided legal document content pertains to the allocation of live and simulcast horse racing days in Texas. The commission is responsible for allocating the racing days for each racetrack, considering live race dates separately from simulcast race dates. The commission may prohibit racing on Sundays, unless it conflicts with another provision of the subtitle. Racetrack associations are granted additional horse racing days during a horse race meeting to be conducted as charity days. Class 1 and class 2 racetracks are granted at least two and not more than five additional days. The commission ensures that races conducted on charity days are comparable to races conducted on any other horse racing day in terms of revenue generation. The commission also adopts rules relating to the conduct of charity days. Each racetrack is required to provide reasonable access to races for all breeds of horses, as determined through negotiations with the representative state horse breed registry, with the final approval of the commission. The commission considers factors such as the availability of competitive horses, economic feasibility, and public interest when granting approval. No specific exemptions or penalties are mentioned in these documents.
