Relating to the Texas Racing Commission and the regulation of dog races, including greyhound races, as live events in this state and of simulcast wagering on greyhound races conducted out of state.

HB 5013 amends Texas law to include greyhound racing under existing regulatory frameworks for horse racing. It modifies tourism promotion language to explicitly cover greyhound racing (Government Code § 481.172), updates health/safety code applicability to greyhound races (Health and Safety Code § 751.0021), and expands the purpose of pari-mutuel wagering regulation to include greyhound racing (Occupations Code § 2021.002). The bill directly affects greyhound racing operators, the Texas Racing Commission, and venues conducting greyhound races or simulcast wagering. It does not create new regulations but aligns greyhound racing under current horse racing oversight structures.
