TEXAS RACING ACT > TEXAS-BRED HORSES AND GREYHOUNDS
Short Summary
The provided legal document content pertains to the regulation of Texas-bred horses, breed registries, and horse racing in Texas. The document establishes that state horse breed registries must adopt reasonable rules to qualify accredited Texas-bred horses and promote horse breeding in the state. The Texas Thoroughbred Breeders Association, Texas Quarter Horse Association, Texas Appaloosa Horse Club, Texas Arabian Breeders Association, and Texas Paint Horse Breeders Association are designated as the state horse breed registries for specific horse breeds. These registries act in an advisory capacity to racetrack associations and the commission for the administration of certain sections. The document also requires racetrack associations to provide for the running of Texas-bred races, including races restricted to maidens, on each horse racing day. However, racetrack associations may defer the running of these races under certain conditions. Accredited Texas-bred horses finishing first, second, or third in races in the state, except restricted stakes races, are entitled to receive purse supplements. The funds for these supplements are derived from the breakage as provided by specific chapters. Additionally, an accredited Texas-bred Thoroughbred horse finishing first, second, or third in a race other than a Texas-bred race is entitled to receive an owner’s bonus award as a purse supplement. The document also addresses the equitable distribution of races and on-track stalls for different horse breeds at racetracks. The commission determines the number of races and on-track stalls for each breed, but exceptions may be allowed if there is an insufficient number of horses for a breed. Overall, these regulations aim to promote and support the breeding and racing of Texas-bred horses in the state. The provided legal document content pertains to the regulation of Texas-bred greyhounds under the Texas Racing Act. The state greyhound breed registry is responsible for adopting reasonable rules to establish the qualifications of accredited Texas-bred greyhounds, with the aim of promoting, developing, and improving the breeding of greyhounds within the state. These rules are subject to approval by the commission. The officially designated state greyhound breed registry for accredited Texas-bred greyhounds is the Texas Greyhound Association. Additionally, the state greyhound breed registry is required to adopt rules for the use of breakage received by the registry under Section 2028.154(a). Racetrack associations are obligated to pay the appropriate state greyhound breed registry at least every 30 days the breakage due to the breed registry. The documents do not mention any specific exemptions or penalties related to these provisions.
