1-12           SECTION 1.  Subdivision (21), Section 1.03, Texas Racing Act

1-16     other than thoroughbreds means a horse that is sired by a stallion
1-17     standing in Texas at the time of conception and foaled by a mare in
1-18     Texas, except that a mare may be bred outside Texas and brought
1-19     into Texas to foal and all foals sired and foaled under those
1-20     conditions in the mare's lifetime shall be considered "Texas-bred"
1-21     if the mare is bred back to a stallion standing in Texas.  In all
1-22     instances any foal must qualify under the rules of the commission.
1-23                       (B)  "Texas-bred thoroughbred" means a horse that

1-25           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-26     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-27     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-28     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-29     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
