So, wherever they think the best Judge is. The physical parts will likely remain as is. I did hear they found what they think is a friendly judge in Dallas.

The National Rifle Association filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy Friday and said it would eventually reincorporate in Texas a move experts say is a legal maneuver to escape an aggressive lawsuit being pursued by the New York attorney general.
Officials in Texas which is known as both a gun-friendly and debtor-friendly state welcomed the NRAs announcement Friday, embracing the NRAs stance that it is fleeing a toxic political environment in New York.
In August, New Yorks attorney general filed a lawsuit against the organization alleging decades of fraudulent use of the NRAs funds by its executives. New York Attorney General Letitia James accused NRA leaders of knowingly signing off on fraudulent statements.

The move to Texas, legal experts said, will likely be on paper.
They probably figured theyd have a more friendly judge in Texas, said Josh Wolfshohl, a bankruptcy attorney at Porter Hedges LLP in Houston.
Theyre trying to do a preemptive strike against New York, said Sidney Scheinberg, a bankruptcy attorney at Godwin Bowman PC in Dallas. Its a clever maneuver. Whether its going to work, I dont know.
