Judge orders Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to take paternity test

DALLAS — A judge ruled Thursday that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones must take a paternity test to establish whether he is the biological father of a 26-year-old woman who sued him earlier this year.

A lawsuit filed March 3 in Dallas County by Alexandra Davis alleged that she was conceived with Jones and her mother had a relationship in the mid-1990s. According to court documents, Jones and Davis’ mother, Cynthia Davis, reached a settlement in which Jones agreed to financially support them so long as they didn’t publicly identify Jones as Alexandra Davis’ father.

The lawsuit sought to have a court declare that Alexandra Davis wasn’t bound by that agreement. She later dropped that lawsuit and instead sought testing to show Jones is her father.
