Texas Horsemen's Partnership LLP Information

The Texas Horsemen's Partnership (THP) is the one and only organization or group recognized by the Texas Racing Commission (TxRC) and State of Texas as the official representative of owners and trainers of horses racing in Texas. The THP is the official representative of all active licensed owners and trainers of racehorses in Texas, with active being defined as owning or training at least one horse that has started at a Texas racetrack in the past twelve (12) months. Over the past several months, a small group of horsemen have emerged that oppose the Texas racing industry's agreed upon legislative agenda, and the small but vocal group is actively campaigning to prevent the legalization of VLTs at Texas racetracks. Members of this group of horsemen, passing themselves off to legislators and people related to the racing industry as official representatives of Texas horsemen, have testified at state meetings and hearings in vocal opposition of the Texas racing industry's legislative agenda.
