Safety + legal
Houston late February through March runs 75°F day / 55°F night, with thunderstorm probability rising into the second weekend. NRG Park parking lots flood in heavy rain — check Houston TranStar before evening departures. Texas alcohol-to-go laws differ from open-container norms; do not drive after rodeo events, use Uber + Lyft.
Insider tip — what you won't find elsewhere
Brazos Bend State Park (40 mi southwest, TPWD reservation 5 months out) doubles as a George Observatory dark-sky weekend — pair the rodeo Tuesday-Thursday concerts with Brazos Bend Friday-Saturday stargazing. Telescope viewing public Saturday nights, $7/vehicle entry.
