TDLR shut them down not the county or city, interesting.
Thanks for that info. I’ve driven past the establishment quite often and recently had thought of stopping there.

I believe TDLR was involved in either the pflugerville or Burleson closure that was recently discussed in one of the forums. Sign of more aggressive state enforcement?

Enforcement of human trafficking and prostitution ordinance is under city jurisdiction. County resources include Sheriff deputies. TDLR is a licensing agency, I guess state legislature enhanced their authority.
TDLR is the one's who does the inspection

Or maybe simply enhanced their budget and scope of work to assist local authorities which have police powers.

Good analysis. Seems a good way to separate "friendly" Sheriffs from their favorite massage parlors.
TDLR has its crooked employees also,threatening ladies with fines if no freebie given. I have reported one in the past.
Well, I was expecting it to happen sooner or later. They opened up some new businesses in that strip center so I was very careful when I would go by. If the parking lot had more than a few cars, I'd keep driving.
