Got a question I need answered and as all I have at the moment is an iPhone and I'm getting on the road shortly, I can't search very well. The question is: at a convention, if one of the vendors does something illegal, like hold a raffle in TX without being a 501(c)3 organization or sell porn to minors, can the convention itself get in trouble or is it only the vendor who will get fined/arrested/etc.?

Not looking for speculation or what you think might happen, as this is to settle a disagreement over what two of us think might happen. (i.e., I think the reason we caution dealers against illegal doings is that we, as a convention, could also get in trouble, but the person I'm arguing with thinks it's only the vendor that's breaking the law that will get in trouble.)
