City of Houston parks require a permit and insurance naming the City for moonwalks; water moonwalks are banned in city parks. Operators take inflatables down in high winds; ask for their wind cutoff and rain policy.
Houston storms pop up fast in spring and summer. Ask the vendor about their rain and wind policy, and have a backup spot.
This can need a city, park, fire or sound permit, or the venue's OK. Check before you book.
