(Austin, Texas - Tuesday, March 28, 2017) - Earlier in March, we reported that five bills were filed with the Texas Legislature that could benefit of the Texas racing industry. We asked you to contact the legislators who authored those bills expressing your appreciation for their support of our industry. We thank all of you who took the time to make contact with Sen. Kolkhorst, Sen. Buckingham, and Rep. Kuempel. We are now asking all of you who did not reach out to those legislators who are working to help our industry that you do so now.

You can read more about the individual bills and the process required for each of them to pass here.

Below are links to sample letters that you can use. Please personalize them with the current date, your name and signature, and feel free to personalize the letters further.
