Two things come to my mind. First is that he is in full election mode and is not going to rock the boat, possible but not really his style. The second is that there happens to be soon to be pending litigation and he can't discuss it without damaging his case.

Any lawsuit filed against Travis County would most likely be done under the Texas Preemption law that prohibits the city from regulating firearms. This would be a clear violation as they are regulating the sale of firearms on county property.

According to the article, which I thought I posted, it was over saxet refusing to require background check on private sales.

Since I somehow managed to post the article before here it is:

According to Fox News the Austin American-Statesman has reported that Travis County commissioners have decided not to renew the lease for the Saxet Gun Show and that County commissioner Biscoe expects lawsuits over the issue.
