(a) Temporary Event Approvals and File and Use Notifications
shall be effective for no more than four consecutive days, except
as provided by subsection (b) of this section.
(b) Temporary Event Approvals issued to holders of
a mixed beverage permit for events conducted in accordance with Alcoholic
Beverage Code §28.20 may be effective for:
(1) no more than five consecutive days; or
(2) up to six consecutive days if necessary to accommodate
the postponement of a scheduled racing event due to an act of nature.
(c) A person or entity may use a Temporary Event Approval
or File and Use Notification at the same location for no more than
ten events in a calendar year if the person or entity that will hold
the authorization has an ownership interest in the real property or
a portion of it or has a lease for its use of the location. For purposes
of this rule, a lease is defined as a contractual agreement by which
one party conveys an estate in property to another party, for a limited
period, subject to conditions, in exchange for something of value,
but retains ownership. The ten-event limitation does not apply to
a location that meets the definition of a Public Entertainment Facility
in Alcoholic Beverage Code §108.73, regardless of whether it
holds that designation.
(d) A Nonprofit Entity Temporary Event Permit shall
be effective for no more than ten consecutive days unless the executive
director or the executive director's designated representative, on
the basis of a case-by-case review of the specific situation, grants
additional time.
(e) Upon written request, the executive director or
the executive director's designated representative may make an exception
to the limitations of subsections (a), (c), and (d) of this section
on a case-by case basis. An exception request will be granted or denied
in writing.
(f) Authorization for an event under this subchapter
automatically terminates upon issuance of a two-year license or permit
for the event location, regardless of the term of the temporary event
authorization.
(g) The effective dates of an event authorization under
this subchapter must cover the period in which alcoholic beverages
will be delivered or stored in addition to the event itself.
(h) A temporary permit or license expires on the date
indicated on the license or permit or on the same date as the primary
permit, whichever occurs earlier.
