Here's an email response I got from the questions email link on the rodeo website. Told them I didn't like their wording.. "cleared by officers" as being taken 2 different ways. I'm going on sunday and I'll be packin, but I won't be going into the stadium to the actual rodeo event.
"Anyone wanting to bring a concealed handgun onto the grounds must present themselves to a HPD security officer before they enter the gates and show the officer their CHL license -- and, if requested, their weapon. The license will be checked out to see if it is valid and/or expired. If there is an issue with their license, then they could be turned away from entering the Reliant Park grounds.
They were wanding tonight. Struck me as a little odd that they had the committee volunteers operating the metal detectors. I guess you don't need much training for that.
Wife just send me an email she recieved from the Houston Rodeo. Looks like a standard reply
Good Morning,
Anyone wanting to bring a concealed handgun onto the grounds must present themselves to a HPD security officer before they enter the gates and show the officer their CHL license -- and, if requested, their weapon. The license will be checked out to see if it is valid and/or expired. If there is an issue with their license, then they could be turned away from entering the Reliant Park grounds.
I'm headed down in the morning for three days while kids are showing. Are they wanding in the exhibitor entry? If they are not wanding, do you have to hunt an officer down just to show your chl?

The people with wands are NOT committee members, they are paid staff.
Most of the wanding starts closer to show time and near the carnival.
Wanding is happening to every person entering who is NOT a committee member or their guest. This is ALL entrances. So if you are not a committee member, or their guest you will get the wand no matter what entrance you go in.

Are you saying all entrances to the park in general or just for carnival area and inti the stadium.
