or §13.01; and
(2) the individual's presence on association grounds is inconsistent
with maintaining the honesty and integrity of racing.

or ejection is sent or served, a person ejected or excluded under this section
may request a hearing pursuant to the Act, §13.02 and this chapter.
(c) If a person is excluded under this section, a race animal
owned or trained by or under the care or supervision of the person is ineligible
to be entered or to start in a race in Texas.
