Paxton's Nov. 2 Alamo Bus Tour Stop Disappears From Public Schedule

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ken Paxton's campaign no longer lists a Nov. 2 Alamo appearance on its public schedule, and the campaign has not responded to requests for confirmation. The event had been announced as the closing stop of his statewide Come and Take It bus tour, one day before the Nov. 3 election.

The Texas Tribune reported the planned Alamo appearance on Oct. 14. The current schedule shows a Nov. 1 stop in Mission and an Election Night watch party in Dallas on Nov. 3, with no San Antonio event listed. The campaign has also canceled planned stops in Texarkana, El Paso and Tyler in the final week.

The Alamo Trust, which oversees the historic complex, says it is unaware of any plans for Paxton to appear on Alamo grounds. The site's Rules of Reverence bar events that include advocacy around public policy, are political in nature, or involve fundraising activities not affiliated with the Alamo. Rule 13 applies to all candidates and parties.

The Alamo also maintains a free-speech zone on the southern portion of Plaza de Valero, near the H&M and Rivercenter Mall, where individuals and groups can gather without a permit. That area prohibits audio amplification, physical structures such as tables and tents, blocking pedestrian pathways, and commercial solicitation. Whether Paxton's stop would use that zone, another part of the complex or property outside Alamo control remains unclear.

Texas Public Radio contacted the campaign by phone and email to seek confirmation and details about the location. The agency also asked the Texas Department of Public Safety whether officers have been assigned to the Alamo in anticipation of a possible Paxton appearance. Neither the campaign nor the department has responded.
