A Texas appeals court rejected a request by state Attorney General Ken Paxton to overturn a decision by the State Fair of Texas to ban all firearms in its grounds, but the official is vowing to take the issue further.

The judges upheld a ruling by a Dallas County District Court, which agreed with State Fair officials who claimed they could enforce the decision as a private nonprofit.
