A federal judge granted a strip club a temporary restraining order against the city of Houston and several city agencies allowing it to remain open as a restaurant, according to court documents.
The city agencies threatened to shut the club down as a"nonessential" business, but"lacking a legal basis to do so," according to the court docket, allowed the club to remain open. However, instead of leaving, police and fire officials,"loitered in the parking lot of Onyx from the hours of approximately 12:40 AM until 4:00 AM," the club alleged in the docket. It then filed a restraining order to remain open.
