Inside the club, deputies recovered drugs and evidence of sexual activity.

Since 2009, the HCSO has responded to over 250 calls for service at this location.
On the same night and at the same address, HCSO investigators dismantled “Amusement Game Room†after evidence of illegal gambling activity was obtained.
The investigation resulted in the seizure of over $25,000 in cash, and more than 70 gambling-device motherboards and other devices. One of the customers at the game room was arrested after investigators identified him as a suspect wanted for a murder in El Salvador. He is Concepcion Lopez, D.O.B. 01/21/1987. No photo of Mr. Lopez is available as he was transferred immediately to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

You would think the lesbian mayor would have the police doing something constructive.
I think this may be key. As long as these types of establishments don’t over do it per se; many local LE may not bother w/ it.
But once things are too much and LE is getting complaints from citizens; they may not have much choice but to act IMO.
This is part of the reason I’d rather have these types of establishments operating in industrial areas and during times when others business are closed.
I am site Financial Mgr at company in NW Houston(not far from Houston Dolls, ST James area) and Thursday nite I was at Cover Girls which is only 3 miles from my workplace. Another one nearby is Joy of Houston. I plan some serious SC fun while waiting out the traffic. See my review of Cover Girls. That bust a little too close for comfort.
To have that many girls on shift that must have been some fun club. Are there mug shots somewhere online? It wb a hobby within the hobby to fuck all of them over a period of time.....
