Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking his challenge of the State Fair of Texas's new policy banning guns to the Texas Supreme Court.
The State Fair of Texas opens its gates Friday, so a decision by the Texas Supreme Court could come anytime, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton took his challenge of the State Fair of Texas's gun policy to the state supreme court on Wednesday.
The attorney general argued the fair's policy unlawfully prohibits licensed gun owners from carrying their weapons in places owned or leased by governmental entities unless otherwise prohibited by law.The city of Dallas owns Fair Park and leases much of the fairgrounds to the State Fair of Texas each year.
The appeals court ruled Tuesday that there was not enough evidence showing that the State Fair or the city of Dallas would break any laws with the policy on firearms, and Paxton's motion for a temporary injunction pending the appeal was denied.
