My wife and I took our two-year-old to the Star of Texas Fair & Rodeo last week. We walked around the fair grounds, livestock show barn and carnival but did not attend one of the actual "rodeo" events. I assumed that the actual rodeo would be off-limts to CHL as a "professional sporting event" but that the other parts of the Fair (parking area, fair grounds, livestock show barn, carnival) would be OK for CHL holders. Is this correct?

Charles would be the final authority but that is the way I do it.

That's exactly the way I handle it also.

I attended last week, but I did go see the rodeo prior to the concert. If I was in your position, I would have handled it just like mentioned above.

So is this a CHL friendly place, actual rodeo aside?

You are exactly correct. The grounds are actually government owned, so no 30.06 sign is possible. But the rodeo is a professional sporting event. And there is some question about the TABC policy of it being off limits due to 1 vendor who serves only beer (and thus derives 100% of their profits ...) but the entire center does not. This is only in the rodeo building so it was off limits anyway. Or at least that was a question I had with them last year and couldn't get a straight answer out of TABC.
