A strip club in Houston won a temporary order from federal court to resume business this weekend under the governor’s reopen order, drawing the frustration of local officials tasked with enforcing new rules amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Club Onyx opened just after midnight Friday, claiming it’s a full-service restaurant and that strippers there were merely “entertainment.” The governor’s order allowed restaurants, retail businesses, malls and movie theaters to open at 25 percent capacity.
A federal judge approved a temporary restraining order against the city of Houston, which means a strip club can stay open as a restaurant.
Club Onyx filed the suit today after being shut down last night, just hours after they opened under Gov. Abbott's phase I plan.
