Full Breakdown

Under the city's park rules, no alcoholic beverage may be sold, distributed, possessed, or consumed anywhere on park premises. The ban lifts only for a permitted special event or a city-produced event under Ordinance No. 2020-1320, and only if the organizer holds all required licenses, including those from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Glass containers are separately banned on park grounds outright, with no event exception. The rule sits in the same section as the parks' sunset-to-sunrise closure and motorized-vehicle ban.

Violations & Fines

Misdemeanor; fined as provided in § 1-17, which caps most Code violations at $500.00 per offense, with each day a continuing violation counted separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drink alcohol in a Fulshear park?
No. Possessing or consuming alcohol anywhere on park premises is prohibited unless it's a licensed special event permitted under Ordinance No. 2020-1320.
Does the ban apply outside city parks too?
This specific rule applies only to park premises; it's part of Chapter 32's park rules, not a citywide open-container law.
