If they are operating illegally, I can understand why the city wants to go after them. But is it really an effort to shut down even the ones operating legally? And if so, what is the impetus for it? Is there alot of crime nearby or something? Maybe I am living in a bubble, but I can hardly believe a city would go to such trouble just on the "morals" issue.

Shutting down businesses that generate revenue for the City via takings of dubious constitutionality. Of course, no public official wants to go to bat for the titty bars, so only the club owners fight this garbage.

First a few things that should be said here. The mayors son has been to these establishments was he punished or maybe daddy found out so he punished the business. Bart Jones AKA Mr. Hypocrit has also been to an all nude club 2 blocks closer to his home yet does not file a complaint against them. It is also too far and too dangerous for him to walk his kids down to Westheimer too pass these businesses so who is he kidding. There are plenty of hard working people in these clubs supporting their kids and spending the money they make in many other types of businesses such as restraunts,movies,department stores,car dealerships,apartments,homes,nail and hair salons,grocery stores,jewelry stores etc. so who is the real loser? How about the taxes paid by these businesses? This paticular club pays over $400,000.00 a year in taxes now add up all the clubs and where does the city make up this money? Maybe by raising your property taxes and who paid for all of this you and you will continue to pay as Mayor WHite continus to seek publicity to try and gain votes for his future carrer in politics. Who is next on his list? Hooters because the girls where short shorts and skin tight shirts to show off there assets. How about all the arrests lately in the HISD are they a nuisance? How about the schools with metal detectors should they be closed because of all the problems with weapons and drugs found there? There are more calls to the police department for drugs at Robert E Lee High School than at this establishment. How about all the shootings at Coco Loco but the city does not find them a nuisance. How about all the taquerias who serve alchohol 24 hours a day because they pay off plice officers. The taqueria that is in front of this club serves all night as long as you speak spanish, but I guess this is the clubs fault. How about the fact that the club has been there over 25 years long before most of these business, regardless of the name on the outside. This seems to be a place where church and state have overstepped there boundaries and are taking away the rights to free speech and property ownership.
