May 11 (Reuters) - The National Rifle Association cannot use bankruptcy to reorganize in gun-friendly Texas, a federal judge in Dallas ruled on Tuesday, handing a defeat to the influential firearms rights group that is facing an effort to dissolve it in New York state.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Harlin Hale's decision, following a trial over the legitimacy of the NRA's January bankruptcy filing, means the group will remain incorporated in New York.

Letitia James, New York's attorney general, had last August filed a lawsuit seeking the dissolution of the NRA, which she accused of corruption and misspending.

"The question the court is faced with is whether the existential threat facing the NRA is the type of threat that the Bankruptcy Code is meant to protect against," Hale wrote. "The court believes it is not."

The NRA, a group closely aligned with U.S. Republican politicians including former President Donald Trump, has been instrumental for years in thwarting Democratic-backed gun control proposals in the U.S. Congress.

They can still move to Texas if they want they just would not be able to use Bankruptcy to do it to avoid the lawsuits they have currently.

If there is anything left of the NRA after this it will probably still move to Texas. Texas loves the NRA.
