'We will be seeing patrol officers downtown more often to make sure that everybody is abiding by the entertainment district rules and regulations, such as no drinking in or on the vehicles, no glass bottles, maintaining the noise ordinances, the curfew for the minors,' says Kristen Schultz with TAPD.
Entertainment district hours run from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday and until midnight on Sunday.
