Years after permitting private nonprofits to ban guns on land leased from the city, Paxton is reversing his stance and challenging the Texas state fair.
this week withdrew an eight-year-old legal opinion that gave private nonprofits the green light to ban guns on land they lease from a city - a move that comes as Paxton challenges the nonprofit State Fair of Texas' ban on firearms.the city of Dallas and state fair officials last month, arguing the State Fair of Texas had violated state law that largely bars local governments from restricting firearms on land they own or lease.
Later in 2016, an official from Paxton's office cited that opinion in finding that firearm-banning notices could be posted at the entrances of the Fort Worth Zoo because, while the zoo is on city-owned land, the city contracts with a nonprofit corporation to oversee the zoo's operations and management.
"There is no overlapping leadership structure between SFOT and the City," the nonprofit's attorneys wrote. "SFOT is currently governed by a 20-person board of directors, none of whom are government employees, government officials, or government appointees. SFOT is also financially independent and does not receive any money from the City to host the Fair."
