Guadalupe and Comal River Rules

The New River Rules created by the New Braunfels City Council,
"DO NOT" apply in Canyon Lake, Texas...
they only apply "within" the "City Limits of New Braunfels".
(Canyon Lake is 12 miles from the City Limits of New Braunfels, so there is no chance of
crossing into the City Limits of New Braunfels on any of Tube Haus' float trips.)
Please Note: Violation of any Rule(s) may result in Tickets, Fines and/or being Arrested.

New Rule	By order of the New Braunfels' City Council: No containers under 5 fluid ounces are permitted. (This usually refers to "Jello Shots" in 5 oz. or smaller containers. This rule was created because so many people littered the rivers with small plastic containers after shooting down their Jello Shots, causing environmental problems. Jello Shots have NOT been outlawed, only containers that are 5 ounces or smaller have been banned. You can still bring your Jello Shots in containers larger that 5 ounces.) Please Drink responsibly, thank you!	< New Rule, and Very Similar >	By order of W.O.R.D., no open plastic containers of 5 fluid ounces or less are permitted on Comal County rivers (which includes the Guadalupe River).
