Strip clubs ask Texas high court to stop fee collection
The Houston Chronicle reports:
An association representing strip clubs asked the Texas Supreme Court on Monday to stop the state from collecting a new fee that a trial court has ruled unconstitutional.
The state has already received $3.3 million in payments from the clubs in their initial quarterly payments due last month.
The emergency petition is designed to prevent clubs from having to remit the fee while the state appeals a March ruling from a Travis County state district judge . . .
