Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

I have a booth in a flea market in Houston, Texas. I sell fraternity, sorority, and masonic merchandise. Yesterday a man came into my shop and was angry because I was selling the masonic merchandise. He said that I was supposed to sell it only to masons. He told me that he was going to send me a cease and desist letter advising me to stop selling masonic items in my shop. Is there any way that I can be compelled to stop selling it? I have a lot of masonic customers and I sell to them and to their family members. I have never intentionally sold to a non-mason, but does anyone have a right to tell me who I can and cannot sell to? There are other dealers in the market that sell masonic merchandise also. What are my rights?

Thank you.

He's an idiot. Anybody can sell Masonic merchandise to anybody else.
