Requests for a donation must be submitted on the organization's official letterhead stationary.

The principal must sign school requests. Include fliers or newspaper articles with requests when possible. E-mail and phone requests will not be accepted. Weapons Policy: The management discourages the use of weapons as costume adornments, as the safety of our patrons is our utmost concern. Any weapon adornment must be "peace-tied" and otherwise protected so any sharp edges are covered, and so it cannot be drawn or wielded while on the grounds. Due to the wide variety of potential "weapons" each item is handled on a case-by-case basis when the patron enters the festival. The Front Gate personnel determine what will and will not be allowed into the festival, as well as how it will be "peace-tied" and protected before the patron enters the festival. To avoid your weapon being held at the entrance gate until you depart the Festival, we advise that you do not wear weapons as costume adornments. Security personnel will monitor the wearing of weapons on the festival grounds. On violation of our weapons policy, Security personnel may confiscate any weapon and expel the violator from the festival grounds. Southwest Festivals, Inc. reserves the right to exclude a patron/participant from carrying or wearing a weapon. -FELONY- State law prescribes a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment and a fine not to exceed $5,000 for carrying weapons where alcoholic beverages are sold, served, or consumed. Section 61.11, Alcoholic Beverage Code, Article 46.035 (g), Texas Penal Code Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, 1-888-THE-TABC, PO Box 13127, Austin, Texas 78711-3127 Pursuant to section 30.06, Penal Code (Trespass by Holder of a License to Carry a Concealed Handgun) a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, government code (Concealed Handgun Law), may not enter this property with a concealed handgun. | ||
