Far-right influencer Jake Lang has been officially prohibited from entering Texas, with court documents confirming the ban. The ruling by a Collin County judge allows Lang to be present in the state only for required court appearances or meetings with his defense attorney.
Following his arrest on June 10, the judge reduced Lang’s bond from $1 million to $250,000. However, any potential release from custody comes with the stipulation that he must wear electronic GPS monitoring.
The 31-year-old, legally named Edward Jacob Lang, faces a third-degree felony charge for making a terroristic threat in Frisco. This charge follows a previous local warrant for criminal trespass and a notable federal conviction linked to the January 6 Capitol riot.
Lang’s troubles escalated after he was arrested while dining at a Frisco restaurant on June 10. Authorities booked him into the Dallas County Jail, where he faces serious allegations of disrupting public services and instilling fear in the community through threats of violence. Prosecutors presented video evidence in court that purportedly shows Lang threatening to shoot a murder defendant.
On the day of his arrest, Lang was observed outside the Collin County Courthouse, participating in protests related to the high-profile murder trial of Karmelo Anthony, who received a 35-year prison sentence for the stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf in April 2025.
This recent arrest marks Lang’s second interaction with law enforcement in North Texas within weeks. He was previously apprehended on June 2 due to an active criminal trespass warrant linked to an incident from April 2025.
Investigators acted on a tip regarding a video Lang shared on social media, which allegedly depicted him illegally entering Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, the scene of the deadly stabbing. In the video, he reportedly acknowledged climbing a fence to gain access and expressed a desire to leave before the police arrived.
The trespass warrant also pertains to an earlier incident at the George A. Purefoy Municipal Center in Frisco. After his June 2 arrest, Lang was booked into the Collin County Jail but was later released.
Lang’s legal challenges extend beyond Texas. Earlier this year, prosecutors in Ramsey County, Minnesota, charged him with felony first-degree property damage for allegedly vandalizing an ice sculpture advocating for the prosecution of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the Minnesota State Capitol. If found guilty, he could face a prison sentence of up to five years and a fine of $10,000.
Widely recognized for his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Lang was convicted on multiple federal charges, including assaulting law enforcement officers, and served time in federal prison before receiving a presidential pardon.
