A judge has denied a effort by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to halt the recently announced ban on guns at the State Fair of Texas.

An Texas judge has slapped down an attempt by state Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) to force the state fair to allow guns. Paxton’s office sued in August to block a change in state fair policy to ban private firearms — a change Dallas County District Judge Emily Tobolowsky upheld Thursday.

Judge Emily Tobolowsky denied a request by Attorney General Ken Paxton to block the policy, which would prevent license to carry holders from bringing guns onto the fairgrounds.
