Dallas Texas Sept 6 2017: A crowd watches as the city prepares to remove the statue of General Lee. As crews were figuring out how to lift the statue from it's base a district court judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing the city council, which voted 13-1 that morning, from immediately removing the statue from Lee Park and placing it into storage.

In June of 2019 the city auctioned off the statue for $ million to Dallas billionaire, Kelcy Warren, and as of 2023, the statue is on display at the privately owned Lajitas Golf Resort in Terlingua, Texas.
