Dallas County District Judge Emily Tobolowsky on Thursday denied a temporary injunction to force the fair to drop the new policy ahead of the event’s start next week.block the State Fair of Texas’ new gun ban policy
Judge Emily Tobolowsky said she didn’t believe there was enough evidence showing any laws were being broken by the new restriction, which would limit firearm carriers on the grounds during the 24-day event to elected, appointed or employed peace officers. The ruling at the end of a temporary injunction hearing on Thursday means the new policy will be in place when the Fair begins next week.
One of the plaintiffs, Max Juusola, filed a complaint with the Attorney General’s office about the new fair policy the day it was announced. The nonprofit group leases Fair Park from the city for the event, one of the state’s largest annual celebrations and the most attended fair in the country. Dallas officials have maintained city officials weren’t involved in the fair’s decision to enact the new policy, and fair officials say they believe it’s their right to take measures they deem fit to protect patrons.Paxton and Tolbert didn’t attend Thursday’s hearing, and attorneys representing the state declined to comment afterward.
