Keith B wrote:Received a call from the TABC compliance officer. I advised of the situation that the Zoological Society had apparently filled out the info incorrectly on their renewal. The license is up for renewal in May and he stated they would contact them about the error on the last renewal and work to get them to properly file.

He also suggested that if there was someone who had a contact with the Zoological Society they might also contact them and advise the license is wrong and they need to make sure to get it correct this time.

So, hopefully by end of May the zoo will be back to a BLUE license.
Nice job Keith! Now I'll be less afraid of the of those lions and tigers. Not the bears though... bears will kill you. Sic 'Em.

It's possible that the "SOCIETY" may be a fund-raising group for the Zoo, and not the zoo itself...

Apparently the license went to RED when they renewed the application in 2010 due to the way they reported the alcohol sales revenue. I have requested an officer check the location and advise the zoo they need to correct the numbers for total revenue vs. alcohol sales in an effort to get the license changed to blue. If not, then the zoo will be required to post 51% signs at all of their entrances. :grumble

Thanks for following up on this! What a cluster.
I think there's something odd with TABC down there. The establishment known as "George's" was improperly posted for a long time. I started a thread about here long ago...

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=50542&p=616130&hili ... ge#p615805" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

TABC responded to me several times saying they would follow up, but never have. I think George's still has their signs posted as shown in the thread.
They are a 'blue' location.

Re: Cameron Park Zoo in Waco- posted?

Oh wow... I've carried in there several times. Uh... err... I mean my friend has.

It's the best zoo in the state IMO. I take my daughter every time we go up there for Baylor stuff, and the weather cooperates. Good stuff! Great zoo! You get closer to many animals than you ever do at larger city zoos.
