RE:

Wrongful Exclusion of Handgun License Holder Complaint - Resolved

Pasadena Convention Center
OAG Complaint No. 4

Dear Mayor Isbell:

The Office of the Attorney General ("OAG") received a citizen complaint concerning the wrongful
exclusion of handgun license holders from a gun show on or about January 23, 2016, at the
Pasadena Convention Center, under section 411.209 of the Government Code. The OAG
understands this complaint was resolved once the sign was removed after the gun show concluded.
Additionally, the OAG received an email from Deputy City Attorney Richard Risinger stating the
City of Pasadena is no longer allowing gun show operators to post Texas Penal Code 30.06 signs
or concealed handgun signs at the Pasadena Convention Center. Therefore, the OAG is closing
this complaint.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at matthew.entsminger@texasattorneygeneral.gov
or call me at (512) 475-4151.

Sincerely,

\k~
