Licensed Training Facilities
To ensure each horse that participates in pari-mutuel races is fit and ready to run, the Commission requires the horse to have at least two published workouts in the 45-day period before the date of the race. These "official workouts" can be obtained at any operating pari-mutuel horse racetrack.
The Commission also licenses training facilities, as a convenience to horse owners and trainers, to provide official workouts for horses. To be licensed, a training facility must provide a racing surface and equipment that complies with Commission rules (Chapter 313. Subchapter E) and ensure the workouts are conducted honestly and accurately.
Below is a list of the training facilities that are currently licensed to provide official workouts.

A training facility that conducts official workouts must record those workouts on a form prescribed by the Executive Director. That form is then sent to the Commission. In addition, information about the workouts are transmitted to the official past performance publisher and every pari-mutuel horse racetrack in Texas that is either currently conducting a live race meet for that breed or will begin a live race meet for the breed within 45 days.
