An appeals court on Sept. 24 rejected Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s emergency motion seeking to block a ban on guns at the State Fair of Texas.

Three justices on Texas’s 15th Court of Appeals, Scott Brister, Scott Field, and April Farris, said they reviewed the motion and filings from Paxton and the defendants, including the state fair, before siding with the defendants. They did not explain their decision.
