Dallas Sexually Oriented Businesses Must Close from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.
Some representatives of the sexually oriented businesses have said Dallas should expect to see lawsuits as a result of the change.. Some worked for places like Tiger Cabaret and XTC. Others had come out to support them.
Ahead of the meeting, the protesters made their way through a security screening to get inside City Hall and heard discussions about the proposed change. Officers at the security screening at one point said there wasn’t anymore room in the council chambers for everyone waiting to get in. Some were directed to a small auditorium in the building where they could watch a live-feed of the meeting.
In response to employee concerns about cut hours, City Council member Jaynie Schultz asked what types of services Dallas could provide to those affected by the code change. City staff said they would help them seek employment and skills development through its Small Business Center and other departments.City Council member Omar Narvaez’s district is home to a majority of Dallas’ sexually oriented businesses.
He didn’t think the process was rushed or inadequate. He said it has been a robust policy discussion and that it has nothing to do with the kind of work being done at the clubs. To him, it’s about the data, which DPD says shows crime is higher around sexually oriented businesses during those early-morning hours.
City Council member Chad West said he wants to support the police chief and DPD in their efforts to fight crime, but he also disapproved of the process, saying it was rushed. Nor did he like the idea that sexually oriented businesses that didn’t pose a crime problem would also have to shut down during the four-hour window.
