You should look up your local officials association on the internet. I believe you can ultimately get to it from
http://www.referee.com. Click on "how to become an official." You need to be careful of what rule books you're reading. If you are from Texas (which I'm guessing you may be from your name) I believe they use college rules so your rules study may need to change. Either someone from this forum may reply or you should at a minimum go online to the site I mentioned and try to contact someone in your area.
Good luck.
