Elsa Cantu
Executive Assistant
to Councilmember Delia D. Jasso

Ms. Cantu erroneously referred me to pre-2007 laws that stated licensees could not carry on the premises of an amusement park. I politely responded back to her that that law had changed in 2007 to require amusement parks to post appropriate 30.06 signs and that the Texas State Fair did not meet the requirements of an amusement park by not being open more than 120 days in a calendar year. I also pointed out that since Fair Park was owned by the City of Dallas it could not legally be posted with 30.06 signs anyway. I gave her the references to the penal code so she could check herself.

Steve Salazar's office forwarded my question to Council Member Davis' office, since Fair Park is in her district. It was from his forward to her office that I received this carbon copy to Mr. Richard Perez.

Mr. Perez,

Would you please initiate an investigation regarding the email below and respond to our office with the results via interoffice memorandum or email.

Yolanda Davis
Executive Assistant to
The Honorable Carolyn R. Davis
City of Dallas ~ District 7

All in all I think these two responses are more than I expected. I'm glad to see that others are not having as much trouble as Gemini did.

It is a ploy that works if you want it to and cannot be legally challenged. If it isn't illegal, it is legal.

1. I never received a reply or call back from Rep Joe drivers office.
2. The DPS attorney has never called / per Rep Allan Vaught's office.
3. My attorney has never received a call back from State Fair management.
4. Some are now entering the Fair without the info hassle, still no continuity from gate to gate.
5. Mark Davis was reported to have a show this morning on this topic. I'm tuned in now.

The next few days could be interesting.

Maybe the rule was not "Official" policy. If it was, it seems like the hassle would be across the board at every gate for all CHL's.

The Fair management office confirmed it was "Official Policy" when I called them. It seems there is no continuity from gate to gate,
I agree with that. But, it shouldn't be allowed at any gate.

Ah, but they cannot post 30.06.

The fairgrounds is gov't owned, even if it is leased out to a private company for 24 days a year. Government owned property is an exception to 30.06.
