Answer 2

I would contact the state athletic commission directly. Many of the states are now getting more strict on this and regulating it as well as amateur boxing and kick boxing. The reasons are two fold:

1. To better protect the fighters and regulate it more closely so that insurance is available for all fighters that are hurt in a match.

2. More promoters are using both amateur fighters as well as professional fighters to fill their fight cards and there have been some legal snags and resulting lawsuits when people have been hurt or not used the appropriate equipment.

Many times these cards are supposedly taking place under the sanctioning of the state athletic commission and when problems like this occur they are blindsided and don't know anything about it. So in order to better protect themselves and the fighters many states are getting stricter on the licensing and regulating of fighters, referees, trainers, and corner-men. They are also lumping MMA into this since it is all fighting.

Answer 3

Call the state board of health and ask for the Texas boxing commission. They normally oversee the licensing.

Answer 4

Need to get a MRI and talk to the state athletic commission

Answer 5

Call the association that you want to compete for, and find out what you have to do. My guess is theres a state atheletic commision, you'll have to get credentials from.
