The NRA had requested to be reincorporated in Texas when it filed for bankruptcy, a move hailed by Texas politicians. The decision from Judge Harlin Hale, of the Northern District of Texas, came after a monthlong trial in which NRA attorneys and officials argued that their bankruptcy case should move forward in Texas. "The rot runs deep, which is why we will now refocus on and continue our case in New York court. "In many ways it was a high-risk gambit to think that a bankruptcy court would allow them to bypass some of that litigation," Mittendorf told CNN. "The Court agrees with the NYAG that the NRA is using this bankruptcy case to address a regulatory enforcement problem, not a financial one," Hale wrote.
