A federal appeals court has ruled that Texas can enforce Senate Bill 12, which restricts "sexually oriented performances" in front of kids. The judges said drag shows aren't necessarily sexual, and the plaintiffs, including a drag performer and two entertainment companies, may not be harmed by the law.

The UNT System鈥檚 temporary pause on drag performances went into effect in March of this year. A federal appeals court ruled earlier this month a similar ban likely violates the First Amendment.

Tarrant County Judge Tim O鈥橦are called for a drag ban on UT campuses in March. Board chair Kevin P. Eltife responded and said drag shows are not allowed.

The University of North Texas System is one of the latest institutions in the state to pause all drag performances on its campuses.

The annual on-campus drag show at Texas A&M University welcomed hundreds Thursday night 鈥� despite efforts to ban such performances by school officials.

The ruling comes just weeks after a federal lawsuit was filed in an effort to block the school鈥檚 ban on drag shows.
