Judge Dale Tillery in court told state attorneys he was denying Paxton’s request for a temporary injunction because they couldn’t prove the Dallas

Dallas District Court Judge Dale Tillery denied Attorney General Ken Paxton’s attempt of a temporary injunction, which would blocked the city’s decriminalization of misdemeanor marijuana possession.

A Texas judge has ruled that a local marijuana decriminalization law approved by Dallas voters last year can continue to be implemented— denying a request from the Republican state attorney general that sought to temporarily block the reform as a lawsuit proceeds.
