My name is Robert, and I'm currently looking for a promoter so that I can get into the cage/ring. My base art is Muay thai, Muay Lerdrit, and Muay Chaiya coupled with Kodenkan Jujitsu. I live in rural Texas however, so I don't have any way to find a fight promoter to book a venue for me. I was hoping that is anyone out there knows a person in Texas that can help me get in the ring, I would be very appreciative. I'm looking for an amateur MMA or Muay Thai bout, and I'm confident about my skills, though I've only ever sparred at the local Karate dojo since I've moved to Texas.

I don't have any contacts, but here's something to get you started:

Click on the "Search" tab on the upper right on the main page.

Then type Texas into the site search line, and click the choices below it so that only "Promotions" is checked.  Then click the search function.

That takes you to a list of 37 promotions operating in Texas.  Some are out of business, but plenty are still active.  

Clicking on each link will take you to that promotion's Tapology page.  Most include links to an official site and/or a Facebook page for the promotion, where you should be able to establish contact.

If you're close to a border, you could also try this for Oklahoma, New Mexico or whatever for more possibilities.

Hope you find something that works out.

This facebook page might be worth a look as well.  It lists some other Texas promotions:

Also here's a list of Texas MMA gyms we've got.  Gym owners/coaches are a good way to connect to get you a fight.
