challenge the city’s efforts to shut it downDallas officials can’t force Texas Card House to close or interfere with its ongoing business pending a final ruling on the poker club’s appeals of the city revoking its certificate of occupancy, according to a court order signed by District Judge Eric Moye on Monday.

Shuffle 214 also had the city’s decision to revoke its certificate of occupancy reversed by the Board of Adjustment, leading to Chief Building Official Andrew Espinoza suing the board in May. The suit is currently scheduled to go to trial next summer. Roger Albright, an attorney representing Shuffle 214 and Poker House of Dallas’ parent company, Badger Tavern LP, described the city’s claims in the latest suit as “just wrong.”issued a revised copy of the certificate of occupancy

“They already have pending litigation that is much further along the legal path, but the city keeps filing these lawsuits,” Albright said. “I just don’t understand why the city is wasting our tax dollars with additional lawsuits as opposed to waiting for the courts or the legislature to make a final determination on all this. It really makes no sense.”

The businesses argue that any winnings players give directly to workers don’t violate the law because tips aren’t mandatory and players are free to spend their winnings any way they see fit.
