A Texas judge on Wednesday upheld a ruling ordering Dallas Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones to take a paternity test to determine whether he’s the biological father of a 27-year-old woman.

Dallas County Judge Sandra Jackson made the initial ruling on Feb. 19. Attorneys for Jones and Alexandra Davis, the woman suing the NFL executive, made their cases, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Attorney Kris Hayes touted the ruling in an interview with the paper.

"Alex is in a position where she really no longer has to hide her truth or live under the thumb of fear and maybe she’s going to finally get some peace and we hope other families will have that same benefit from the judge following the law," Hayes said.

Jones’ lawyers argued in the hearing that the man who was married to Cynthia Davis at the time was the presumed father of the woman, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Jones has denied being the father of Davis.

Davis filed her initial lawsuit against Jones on March 3, 2022. She alleged that her mother, Cynthia Davis, had a relationship with Jones in the late '90s in which they conceived her. Davis sought a DNA test to prove that Jones was her father after initially suing, and later dropping it, to have a judge declare she wasn’t bound by a financial settlement between him and her mother, according to the paper.
