A federal lawsuit was filed at least two hours after the Dallas City Council approved new rules order the businesses to close between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.
The new rules are a first for the city and went into effect immediately after the council approval, but likely can’t be enforced until the ordinance is published Saturday. Several strip club workers told council members before the vote Wednesday that most of their business comes after 2 a.m. New Fine Arts is a 24-hour adult novelty store that sells lingerie and other items. The other four are strip clubs that open at least two days a week past 2 a.m.The proposal has been spearheaded by the police department, whose officials say that crimes and emergency calls occurring after 2 a.m. at some strip clubs tie up police and fire resources and hamper the city’s goal of reducing violent offenses.
