Dallas must decide whether or not to spend $600,000 in its legal fight against poker businesses.
The City Council will vote next month whether or not to increase the money for lawsuits aimed at shutting down two poker businesses, Texas Card House and Shuffle 214.
The money’s use will be twofold: seeking a court order upholding Dallas Chief Building Official Andrew Espinoza’s decision to revoke the businesses’ certificates of occupancy; and defending the Board of Adjustment’s ruling that allows the poker clubs to stay open.
The suits are against the city’s Board of Adjustment for reversing the revoked certificates of occupancy as well as the two poker businesses. Texas Card House and Shuffle 214 have their own legal representation.
