What regulatory authority does the county have related to particular types of gathering?
If it's expected that more than 2,500 people will attend (or more than 500 in certain circumstances), the campout would be considered a "mass gathering" and regulated by Chapter 751 of the Health and Safety Code. If the campout meets the definition of a "sexually oriented business" in Chapter 243 of the Local Government Code,the county may restrict the location of the business, and a permit may be required. See TAC Legal's Mass Gatherings and Sexually Oriented Businesses publications for more information.
