<\/p>\n
The backstory:<\/p>\n
The Preston Hollow mansion is known for its elaborate Halloween and Christmas displays.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few years ago, the home became a TikTok sensation. Videos shared by celebrities turned it into a must-see Christmas lights destination, attracting hundreds of people to the narrow neighborhood street each night.<\/p>\n
While it was fun for the onlookers, it was a traffic nightmare and headache for neighbors. The city of Dallas said traffic control during that Christmas season ended up costing taxpayers about $25,000.<\/p>\n

What’s new:<\/p>\n
The mansion\u2019s 2026 Halloween display includes the usual ghosts and ghouls, along with political signs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The display at the front and center of the home includes “No Talafreako for Texas” signs referencing Paxton\u2019s Democratic opponent, James Talarico. Additional signs show the owner\u2019s support for Paxton and desire to recall Dallas City Council member Gay Donnell Willis.<\/p>\n
Willis was the councilwoman who pushed for a new city ordinance that would help with traffic control and limit homeowners in neighborhoods that might gain future viral fame. However, no ordinance was ever enacted.<\/p>\n
What they’re saying:<\/p>\n
In response to this year\u2019s display, Willis said Dallas police are on standby in case there are traffic concerns like in past years.<\/p>\n
“People are welcome to enjoy a resident\u2019s display, but need to stay in their cars and drive slowly through the neighborhood to see it. \u00a0This street does not have sidewalks, and cars and people are not meant to occupy the same space for safety reasons. \u00a0Also, you should not view a display from someone else\u2019s front yard. \u00a0 As long as everyone views it respectfully and keeps their cars moving, it should be OK. \u00a0DPD is standing by in case the gridlock and hazards of previous years return,” she said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Neighbors seemed to have mixed opinions. Some don\u2019t like the additional traffic the displays bring to the neighborhood and others called it “free speech.”<\/p>\n
