'We're happy to put this all behind us,' Handy told the Observer on Wednesday. Whether the convention comes back to the city is up in the air. Adam McGough, for example, called pornography lethal and 'a lie.' It was clear that council support for the ordinance was not, as the city's attorneys would later argue, 'based on conduct and the best business interest of the convention center.'īetween the settlement and legal fees, Dallas ended up shelling out more than $1 million to keep Exxxotica out of downtown for a little over three years.

'We haven't looked any further than the check hitting our bank account.' - J. 'Thus, a realistic sense of the purpose and effect of the resolution in this context was that Three Expo, the undisputed promoter and proposed presenter of Exxxotica 2016, was banned from presenting Exxxotica 2016 at the Dallas Convention Center under any guise or circumstance.'

Fitzwater did not rule on the suit's underlying First Amendment issues or the city's claim that it has a business case to regulate who uses the convention center.

In his decision, he said the plaintiff in the suit, Three Expo Events, lacked standing because it doesn't have the same name as Exotica Dallas, the company that initially contracted with the city to put on the event at the convention center. District Judge Sidney Fitzwater dismissed the case in 2017. Handy, founder of the Exxxotica pornography and adult industry expo, sued the city in 2016 when the council refused to host his convention after a successful and largely uneventful three-day run at Dallas' Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in 2015. Handy $650,000 to settle the suit he brought against the city in February 2016.

On Wednesday, the City Council signed off on paying J. Dallas ended up paying dearly for banning porn conventions from the city in 2016.
