Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed two lawsuits against the City of Dallas for banning lawful license holders from carrying handguns.
Paxton’s office says the ban on guns at Fair Park’s Music Hall and The Majestic Theatre are “blatant” violations of Texas law.
The city’s Office of Cultural Affairs leases both The Majestic Theatre and Music Hall at Fair Park. Under Texas law, governmental subdivisions have no authority to prohibit license holders from carrying their handguns. Paxton’s office says Dallas has repeatedly done this to citizens, going so far as threatening to arrest citizens.
“The law is clear,” Paxton said. “Cities like Dallas have no authority to override state statutes that enable license holders to lawfully carry their handguns and protect themselves from potential threats.
“I will always do everything in my power to defend Texans’ gun rights from cities that would strip us of our legal rights.”
Last year, Paxton’s office filed a similar lawsuit against Dallas for restricting license holders from carrying their handguns into the Texas State Fair.
