The Texas attorney general has set his sights on some fun spots in North Texas with one of his recent lawsuits.
Meow Wolf is one of the places Texas AG Ken Paxton recently sued for not allowing off-duty police to enter with a weapon.in many state primary elections. The governor looked to bounce the House Republicans, who were primarily from small towns and rural districts, who had opposed his school voucher plans in 2023, while Paxton’s revenge was born from the House vote to impeach him last May when the GOP-dominated House overwhelmingly sent him to a Senate trial.
We know what Abbott wants to accomplish with a new-look House. He supported candidates who would in turn support his long-hoped-for plans to introduce school vouchers in Texas. But what about Paxton? So far, he’s been lawsuit happy as always, with among the more recent targets. But one of the first things he did to give his latest augmentation of political power a test spin was to file suit against a bunch of places where people go to have fun.
In the lawsuit against Texas CU Trust Theatre, owned by the city of Grand Prairie and operated by the Anschutz Entertainment Group and AEG Texas, the state claimed, “From at least 2021, to the present the defendant has repeatedly prohibited and restricted numerous off duty peace officers from entering its establishment with a weapon that such peace officers were authorized to carry.”
"The State Fair of Texas takes seriously its legal obligations to allow peace officers to lawfully carry their weapon at the fairgrounds." – Karissa Condoianis, The State Fair of TexasIn the case of Texas Trust CU Theatre, the lawsuit also pointed out that the venue’s website stated that weapons are not allowed, even for off-duty officers, thereby violating state law.
