TITLE 16 - ECONOMIC REGULATION
PART 8 - TEXAS RACING COMMISSION
CHAPTER 321 - PARI-MUTUEL WAGERING
SUBCHAPTER D - SIMULCAST WAGERING
SECTION/RULE §321.401 - Purpose
Chapter Review Date 07/23/2020

The Commission finds that, although wagering on simulcast races provides additional revenue for the state treasury, the primary advantage of wagering on simulcast races is the additional revenue it provides for purses for live races conducted in this state. The Commission further finds it is in the public interest to encourage live racing, which promotes economic development in a variety of racing-related industries. Therefore, it is the Commission's intent to adopt and enforce rules relating to simulcast wagering in a manner that will encourage live racing and enhance the horse breeding, owning, and training industries and the greyhound breeding, owning, and training industries.
