Dallas Judge Dismisses AG Ken Paxton’s Lawsuit Against the State Fair
- On June 16, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a demand for Austin to amend or end its multimillion-dollar contract with WEX Bank by July 16, 2025.
- Following SB 19, enacted in 2021, WEX Bank's contract lacked the required anti-discrimination clause, prompting Paxton’s demand for amendment or termination by July 16, 2025.
- Evidence shows Austin authorized $3.6 million in contract services, with over $2.2 million spent, while DSG claims WEX Bank politically debanked them over firearm ties.
- Following Paxton’s demand, Austin requested an amendment on June 20, and WEX Bank submitted the signed change the same day.
- Beyond Texas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Oklahoma are enacting similar FIND Act laws ahead of Austin’s July 16 deadline, potentially setting a nationwide precedent for firearm industry banking access.
