Courts are stalling Dallas' enforcement of new hours of operation for sexually oriented businesses.
Some representatives of the sexually oriented businesses have said Dallas should expect to see lawsuits as a result of the change., people in the industry warned the move would spark a lawsuit. Just hours after the City Council unanimously passed an ordinance closing the businesses from 2 a.m.-6 a.m. last month, the city was sued. Now, a judge has bought a little more time for the businesses and their employees, who say the new rules threaten their livelihood.
The ordinance said the new hours would take place immediately, but the litigation has stalled its enforcement. This week, a judge ordered the city to provide evidence linking the sexually oriented businesses to crime. Both parties agreed it would take about a month to gather the evidence, and the city said it won’t enforce the new hours until then., the members of which have repeatedly spoken out about the proposed hours of operation.
A judge initially denied a temporary restraining order on the ordinance because enforcement wouldn’t be allowed until a preliminary injunction hearing this week., “The City Attorney’s Office will continue to vigorously defend the ordinance amendment and looks forward to presenting evidence and argument at the next hearing.”
Dozens of people in the industry turned out to City Hall to oppose the ordinance on the day of the vote. Many said working at sexually oriented businesses provides them the income and flexibility they need that other jobs may not be able to provide.
