A judge refused to grant the city of San Antonio a temporary restraining order to shut down the North Side exotic dance club XTC Cabaret for operating without a certificate of occupancy.
State District Judge Laura Salinas gave no reason for her ruling this week.
Eric S. Langan, chairman, CEO and president of Houston’s RCI Hospitality Holdings Inc., XTC’s parent company, said a TRO would have caused “irreparable harm” to the club and its employees.

No power. No water. No problem?

The city also ordered XTC to vacate the property at 2023 Sable Lane.
Both sides took their battle to court, filing lawsuits within an hour of each other in December. But XTC whiffed in its legal efforts to quickly get back its certificate of occupancy and reopen its doors.
