The State Comptroller sent a letter to strip clubs, that the fee is active and that initial reports and payments are due Monday. If it is not shipped, a penalty of 5 per cent in force.
Strip clubs have hired to maintain the fight against the fee.
“This is a grave injustice, that the Attorney General and the Comptroller would use a procedural error judicial techniques continue to trample on the rights of owners of these companies,” said White Stewart Head, counsel for the Association Texas Entertainment, which includes more than half the clubs without above Texas.
Last year, Parliament approved by an overwhelming majority a cover $ 5 fee for strip club and has called on donors of $ 40 million per year to receive sexual coercion and health insurance for the poor.

He explained that the law is not valid and an injunction against the charging. But an appeal by the Attorney General Greg Abbott automatically suspended judgement and injunction.
“It is ironic that this industry, which uses the courts to thwart the progress of efforts to prevent sexual coercion, is critical to the attorney general to use the same judicial system to defend a law in Texas , Who supports the benefits and victims of sexual violence, “A said Abbott spokesman Jerry Strickland.
