Officials uphold permit denial for TexasFest Austin HUTTO TexasFest Austin, a musical festival that was scheduled for March 5 at Hutto’s Brushy Creek Amphitheater was canceled after applicant Outlaw Nation failed to receive a special events permit in time. City documents show Outlaw Nation submitted a permit appli- cation in January that city staff deemed incomplete due to lack of information. Outlaw Nation appealed the denial at a Feb. 17 meeting. However, interim Police Chief Jim Stuart said much of the information in Outlaw Nation’s application conflicted with its advertising of the event and information provided in meetings with city staff. Council voted unanimously to uphold city staff’s ruling that the application was incomplete.

development of the Downtown East Project, a 29-acre tract on East Pecan Street that is planned to include a recreation center and a new City Hall.
