Default Where can I get a helmet in Houston (Spring)?

I'm ignorant on racing. I want to get a helmet so I can go to the track and get a few passes in. Where can I buy a helmet so I pass safety standards? Anything I should watch for? (any particular certifications?) They come in sizes, or they adjustable to fit?

I know, these questions are probably really really simple.

Thank you.

Go to a motorcycle dealer (Honda, Suzuki, Kawi, Yamaha) or a motorcycle accessories place. I wear a full face (crotch rocket style) helment. You better get on the horn quick fast if you plan on going this weekend though.

Got mine from Wal-Mart. It's a full-face Bell helmet with visor, fits really well, very comfortable and face fitting. Was only like 90 bucks.
