16 Tex. Admin. Code § 315.201 - Racing Weight
(a) Before a
greyhound may school or race at a racetrack, the owner or trainer must
establish the racing weight for the greyhound with the clerk of
scales.
(b) Each greyhound entered
in a race in a performance must be weighed in by the prescribed time approved
by the racing judges.
(c) The
greyhound's kennel owner, trainer, assistant trainer or kennel helper shall
deliver the greyhound to the weighing-in room in sufficient time to have the
greyhound weighed in in accordance with this section.
(d) If a greyhound's weight at weigh-in
varies from the greyhound's established racing weight by more than 1 1/2
pounds, the racing judges shall scratch the greyhound.
(e) If a greyhound's weight at weigh-in
varies by more than two pounds from the greyhound's weight at weigh-in for the
greyhound's previous race, the racing judges shall scratch the
greyhound.
(f) Except as otherwise
provided by this subsection, if a greyhound at weigh-out has lost more than two
pounds while in the lockout kennel, the racing judges shall scratch the
greyhound. If the commission veterinarian certifies that the greyhound's weight
loss does not impair the racing condition of the greyhound, the racing judges
may permit the greyhound to race.
(g) A greyhound that is scratched from a race
because of overweight or underweight shall be suspended for six race days and
must officially school before starting in a race. A greyhound scratched under
this subsection may school during the term of the suspension.
