 Please
allow me to introduce you to Texas Bullfights
Texas Bullfights, LLC, dba
Tejas Bullfights, began in 2008 when partners William Carter
and Don Dulin read about a South Texas bullfight in a local
newspaper. Both men, active in several community
organizations, felt that this was yet another way they could
give back to the community while producing an entertaining,
family-oriented event.
Carter and Dulin began researching the possibilities of
producing the best in traditional bullfighting events and
quickly landed on a mission statement for their endeavor: to
produce entertaining, family-oriented, educational events
celebrating Hispanic culture and to provide scholarships for
youth wishing to further their education. “We want to
benefit the students who are marginally below the academic
cut-off for traditional scholarship eligibility but who have
a desire and need to go to school,” said William Carter,
Member-Manager. Carter, a Juvenile Probation Officer, has
encountered many youth with a desire for an education but no
available resources to assist them.
The inaugural event, scheduled for July 5th, 2008, at the
Fort Bend County Fairgrounds in Rosenberg, has been widely
supported by the community. “Our efforts have been
graciously received by the community,” said Don Dulin,
Member-Manager. “Thanks in large part to our sponsors, we
are thrilled to be able to bring a moderately priced,
family-oriented event to our county and at the same time,
invest in our youth.”
Not your traditional bullfight, Tejas Bullfights are
bloodless bullfights in which the “kills” are simulated. To
be victorious, the matador must retrieve a rose that has
been attached with Velcro to the bull’s back by reaching
between the bull’s deadly horns. The matadors do not use
weapons in their quest for the rose. They must rely on their
skill and agility to distract the bull with their cape and
performance. The bulls are pardoned, not injured, and live
to face the matador another day.
Honoring their mission of hosting family-oriented events,
Tejas Bullfights features not only authentic Mexican
fighting bulls and renowned Mexican and American matadors,
the all day event includes a car show, live music in
celebration of Hispanic heritage, traditional food and
autograph sessions with the matadors. “We want to ensure
that Tejas Bullfights is a family friendly event that
everyone can enjoy,” said William Carter, Member-Manager of
the diverse offering of activities.
Sponsors of the July 5th inaugural event include Best Buy,
Black Iguana, Bob’s Taco Station, Bud Light, Chick-fil-A,
The Colorado Bar and Grill, DonDulin.com,
Finnegan Auto Group, FortBendCalendar.com, Gillen Pest
Control, IBC Bank, La Quinta Inns & Suites, Legacy Ford,
Leonetti Graphics, McDonald’s, Silva Companies and Texas
Roadhouse.
Our mission is to produce
entertaining, family-oriented, educational events
celebrating Hispanic culture and to provide scholarships for
youth wishing to further their education.
