We are preparing to introduce a bill into the 2015 session of the Texas House & Senate that would require the inclusion of an ECG with sports physicals during the 1st and third year of participation. The cost of the is test is generally $15.00 per student athlete and would be paid for by the student, the school or various other sources such as foundations. Please add your name and support to this bill and share with all your Texas friends.
I am currently drafting the proposal for the upcoming legislative session to ensure this testing becomes standard for all athletes. Contact your local representative today and demand they support this change to our sports physical requirements.

I whole heartedly support this, as I am from Crosby and have seen the devastation suffered by the community from lives lost too soon.

Very important. You will be glad your child was screened. If nothing else for peace of mind. A $15 test that could detect something life threatening.

Please sign this petition! Both of our girls have had this test. My Mom passed away of Idiopathic Dialated Cardio Myopathy in 2006, and this test could save my girls lives as well as many others! What parent don't wanna know what's going on inside their babies hearts? Thank you to Scott & Melody Stephens for all their hard work & effort! R.I.P. Cody #76

I really think this should be mandatory!!!! Thankful that I allowed my 13 yr.old daughter to get one before athletics this past year! Because of the test we had to go see a specialist and he determined that she has a heart murmur that she should've already outgrown! We wouldn't have known this if it wasn't for her recieveing the EKG! She has had yearly checkups every year w/ her pediatrician but murmur was never detected!
