Exxxotica, banned from Dallas, wants to return to convention center in 2017
Exxxotica, the sex expo banned from the convention center, is eyeing a return to Dallas next year — if, that is, it can convince a federal judge that the city-owned venue is a "designated public forum" protected by the First Amendment and available to anyone who can afford to rent space there.
In February, the Dallas City Council banned the porn expo, and two months later, U.S. District Judge Sidney Fitzwater denied the expo's request to throw out the ordinance keeping it out in the cold. The judge ruled that the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center wasn't a "quintessential public forum" open to anyone.

On Tuesday, Exxxotica's attorneys, including Dallas' Roger Albright, filed for that new hearing.
