CHL & Tx State Fair

[6shooter]

I live in Oklahoma and have my conceal carry permit. I will be going to the Texas State Fair and was wondering what the rules were for carrying at the state fair. I read something about having to register with them as we go thru the gate. Is this true? And what is off limits there - besides the Cotton Bowl? Thanks in advance.

Directly from their website http://www.bigtex.com/sft/guestinfo/FAQs.asp:

A person holding a valid Texas Concealed Handgun License (or valid CHL from a reciprocating state) is permitted to enter onto State Fair property with his/her concealed handgun; provided, however, that CHL holders will not be permitted to carry their concealed handgun inside the Cotton Bowl Stadium, a facility defined under Texas Penal Code §46.035 as "the premises where a high school, collegiate or professional sporting event or interscholastic event is taking place." Note that the Fair does not provide lockers for the storage or checking of weapons for CHL holders, so if you plan to attend a game or event in the Cotton Bowl, please secure your weapon at home or in your vehicle prior to entering the fairgrounds. We want the Fair to be a fun and safe experience.

I'll just wait and see if they find it. If so, I'll present my CHL.
