Texas State Fair will not allow unlicensed gun owners to enter the fairgrounds with a firearm states Fair FAQs

[DougC]

Those who do have a LTC can still enter the fair grounds. Read more here under the License to Carry a Handgun of the FAQs.

In the past I would just show my driver license and LTC to the officer at the gate and he/she would wave me in. This is another reason to get the LTC instead of just going with permitless carry.

Will they post a 30.05 sign? If not, the officer "should not" turn you away without an LTC. Fairgrounds are not on the list of restricted locations under 46.03.

You think those pesky laws stop them?

I believe the officer saying "No" to carry without a LTC would fall under "verbal" notice of the law.

Wouldn’t that be considered notice?

Correct, with the exception of the stadium during the football game. Everywhere else it's fine. I've carried there 3 or 4 times.

Not to be off topic, but I’ll be skipping the fair anyways until they remove the (Indoors only) make mandate.

Wonder how strictly that will be enforced… and how many noses will be hanging out.

I’m within easy distance - if anyone wants to front me the money for a ticket in case I get turned away I’ll be a guinea pig. Might carry a black powder replica, too, just to further confuse the issue.

ETA: On second thought, nah.

 

[Renegade]

Had not thought about that (ghov can exclude non LTC).

So another advantage of the LTC.

 

[Tactical Panda]

I’ll give that honor to one of y’all. Ironically, masks are banned under the “what should I wear” section

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Unless they are for medical purposes....

Who goes to that mess anyway. I have better things to do, always have.

In the DFW area, I see few masks indoors anymore, despite mandate from county. In fact in one restaurant, all 4 cooks weren't even wearing anywhere even below chin.

Test the masks or carrying? If carrying, I won't hesitate since I have a LTC. If I didn't have it I wouldn't bother trying to carry since they wand you. Save the hassle and argument I'd lose anyway.

I'm in DFW, too. At the restaurant I was at today it was close to 50/50.

It's fun for kids. A lot of fun.

Could you pose for a pic by Big Tex with your AR-15? The folks back in Kommiefornia will get a kick out of it.

Nah, actually don't feel like I want to push buttons that much right now.
