DALLAS – Attorney General Ken Paxton filed an expedited appeal Thursday after a Dallas County judge upheld the State Fair's gun ban earlier that day. Judge Emily G. Tobolowsky ruled almost immediately in favor of the City of Dallas and the State Fair after attorneys finished their closing statements early Thursday afternoon.

Attorney General Ken Paxton, who sued over the gun ban, will likely seek to overturn the Dallas judge's order in the 15th Court of Appeals.
