Our Promise to You: Procedures & Protocols for Safely Operating BBT

Updated 3/3/21:

After the recent announcements from Governor Abbott and Judge Whitley removing the statewide mask mandate and capacity restrictions, Billy Bob’s Texas will no longer require guests to wear masks upon entry. However, we take the health and well-being of our community very seriously. Our guests, entertainers and staff are and will always be our number one priority. Therefore, masks are still highly recommended. We will continue to operate at a limited capacity and keep other safety protocols in place, such as additional hand sanitizing stations and temperature checks for guests, entertainers and staff. We will continue to monitor the federal, state and local guidelines and adjust accordingly in the days and weeks ahead. We greatly appreciate your understanding and support during these times.

We love you Fort Worth. Make good choices. Wash your hands.
