Federal judge strikes down Texas restriction on drag shows, offers people a 'simple' solution
Wednesday, August 26, 2026
Judge David Hittner of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas blocked enforcement of Texas Senate Bill 12, which restricted drag shows. Hittner ruled that the law violated First Amendment protections. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office had been tasked with enforcing the restrictions. The ruling prevents the state from implementing the law while legal challenges continue.
