Combative Sports promoters means any person who produces, arranges, advertises, conducts, or stages a combative sports event. Combative sports means sports, including boxing, kickboxing, martial arts, and mixed martial arts, in which participants voluntarily engage in full contact to score points, to cause an opponent to submit, or to disable an opponent in a contest, match, or exhibition. Combative sports promoters must strictly adhere to the rules and regulations concerning the combative sports industry in Texas, which has the most comprehensive set of industry safety measures in the United States today. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation must license promoters, as well as contestants, managers, referees, seconds, judges, matchmakers and event coordinators. The license is valid for one year from the date of issuance, illegible for renewal and only in the state of Texas.
