The firm’s David Coale offered legal analysis for media outlets on the current controversy over the State Fair of Texas’s announcement to ban all concealed handguns at this year’s event. Texas AG Ken Paxton has threatened litigation against the City of Dallas and the Fair, but in a commentary for the Dallas Morning News David notes:

At the heart of this dispute is a gray area in Texas firearms law. In future lease negotiations, the fair’s safety regulations can be a subject of discussion, but Paxton’s enthusiasm for gun rights doesn’t give him authority to insert himself into that contract today and try to revise its terms.

He also was featured in an interview with KERA-FM on the topic, stating:

“What the State Fair of Texas does has enormous symbolic value, even though it's just another business among many…I think they know that what happens in this case is going to be relevant to business owners across the state.”
