A concert being off limits because a vendor has used that address for his license to sell beer, therefore the entire location is listed as 51%. The Ft Worth or Waco zoos being off limits to LTC because the managing company or a vendor has a license to sell alcohol at that location and uses that address in the license.

All we need to do is get most of 46.03 and 46.035 not applying to LTC.
There a a lot of places that would be affected. Lewisville has resorted to posting their whole downtown area as 51% for their "Western Days" festival. Bass Hall in Ft. Worth has the same thing you mentioned - the whole building is 51% because there is an alcohol vendor. The Meyerson in Dallas doesn't. I would love to go to hear more concerts and shows at Bass Hall but it isn't a place I want to go unarmed. I'd be happy not to have a glass of wine during intermission to be to carry. I have never done that when attending a concert anyway.

The Ft. Worth Zoo will likely keep coming up stupid excuses until they have to pay money. How they can be a child care facility AND have a liquor license is a testimony to a lack of common sense.
In Austin, a few places come to mind as well. Namely, Moody Theatre and the Long Center for Performing Arts - both because of outsourcing food & beverage sales.
