• Gates are open 6:30 AM both days and until 9:00 PM Friday. Vendors requiring access to the swap meet grounds after 9:00 PM will be re-admitted with a valid windshield sticker. The gates are manned by security guards at night to prevent unauthorized traffic. Please do not drive around or run RV generators after 10:30 PM until the gates open at 6:30 AM.

• If you are towing a vehicle or trailer and intend for these to stay within the swap meet grounds, then you should purchase space for them. No parking is permitted on streets within the swap meet, except briefly for loading/unloading. Vehicles parked in front of the trash dumpsters may themselves be dumped on. Otherwise, vehicles must be parked in spaces assigned to you and display a windshield sticker. Unattended vehicles not displaying a sticker or vehicles incorrectly parked in a street, or on a grassy area, or in someone else's space will be towed at the owners' expense and risk. There is a parking area for trailers in the far northwest corner of the swap meet. Please do not park tow vehicles in the trailer parking areas. Either park these in the free public parking area or buy a swap meet space for them. No camping is allowed in the public parking area, only within the swap meet grounds

        IMPORTANT: Please do not drive or park vehicles or trailers or place parts for sale on grassy areas. The costs to repair tire ruts, broken sprinkler heads, clean up spilled oil etc, will of necessity be passed through to you, resulting in increased space rental fees. You are welcome to set up an umbrella, table, deck chairs on any grass adjacent to your space.

• A windshield sticker is mailed to you for each space reserved. Every vehicle entering the swap meet grounds must display a sticker placed on the upper left, inside the windshield, in order to be admitted. Don't misplace or forget to bring your stickers, as duplicate stickers will not be issued. Damaged stickers can be replaced if sufficiently legible to determine the original space number.

• Each space is identified by a numbered plaque placed on the ground in the space. Please do not mutilate or remove these re-usable plaques. Please keep your displays within your 9' x 18' (approx.) striped boundary. No stakes, nails or poles may be driven into the pavement.

• For safety reasons, please observe a 5-MPH speed limit when driving to or from your space.

• Disabled persons are, of course, welcome to use an appropriate conveyance but if they plan to use a vehicle that is not obviously designed for use by the disabled (such as golf carts, 3 or 4 wheelers, motorcycles, bicycles or scooters), then they are requested to report to the registration desk for a Southwest Swap Meet Authorized Sticker. STICKERS WILL ONLY BE ISSUED IF YOU SHOW A COPY OF YOUR STATE APPROVED “APPLICATION FOR DISABLED PERSON IDENTIFICATION PLACARD AND/OR DISABLED LICENSE PLATE” (OR THE PLACARD ITSELF) PLUS A VALID DRIVER’S LICENSE. Use of such a vehicle must be limited to the authorized person. (No riders please.)

• Firearms are not permitted on the swap meet grounds nor may they be offered for sale.

• If you wish to remove heavy items from the swap meet ground during meet hours, please report to the main gate for a method of removal.

• The vending area must be vacated by 5:00 PM Saturday. The cleanup crew may remove any parts left unattended after 5:00 PM Saturday.

• Swap meet spaces may not be resold at a profit.

• Pets must be on a leash at all times. Leashes should be 6' maximum.

• We have a contracted food concessionaire and there are food and beverage booths throughout the grounds for your convenience. Only authorized concessionaires may sell food, ice or beverages on the swap meet grounds. Consumption of alcohol is not encouraged and it should be noted that consumption of personal beverages might be subject to Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) regulations.

• The Southwest Swap Meet, Sponsoring Clubs, affiliates of the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Six Flags over Texas and the City of Arlington will not be responsible for damages, injuries, theft, loss or accidents during the swap meet. Please read the indemnification statement on the back of your windshield sticker. Acceptance of a space constitutes your agreement to abide by our rules.

• The Swap Meet Committee reserves the right to eject any person or firm they deem undesirable for any reason. The committee's decisions and action are final.
