If stopped by police, you’re only required to give your name in Texas if lawfully detained. You have the right to remain silent if arrested. Ask for a lawyer and don’t sign anything without legal advice. If you get pepper-sprayed or gassed, leave the area and flush your eyes with water or saline — not milk or oils.

"No Kings" protests are being held across the country and many cities in North Texas on Saturday. DALLAS — Protests are happening across the country, including in many North Texas cities, on Saturday during what organizers are calling the “No Kings” Day of Defiance.

The “No Kings” day of action happened the same day as, and in opposition to, a Washington, D.C. military parade on President Donald Trump’s birthday. Planning for the parade began two years ago and was intended to commemorate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.

Texas DPS officers will close the Capitol early ahead of Saturday's protest to ensure safety, but organizers say 'No Kings' protest will be peaceful.
