Dallas star Victoria Principal's former maid is suing the actress for allegedly pointing a gun at her.

Maribel Banegas claims TV's Pamela Ewing flew into a rage when her hired help took too long to walk her pet dog Mei-Ling.

The maid tried to explain that the pooch wouldn't poop, but Principal fired her - and then allegedly pulled a pistol on her when Banegas asked for her wages, according to TMZ.com.

She claims the actress "pointed and aimed" the gun at her and "verbally threatened to kill" her.

Banegas claims assault, false imprisonment and emotional distress. She is calling for unspecified damages.
