The Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office is seeking to shut down two Fort Worth motels after police responded to nearly 1,700 calls for service at the properties since January 2024.

Tarrant County District Attorney Phil Sorrells filed public nuisance lawsuits Tuesday against the Super 7 Inn and Delux Inn, both located in the 4400 block of South Freeway in Fort Worth.

The lawsuits accuse the motels of becoming hubs for criminal activity, including narcotics and weapons violations, aggravated assaults, robberies, criminal trespassing, and other offenses, according to the DA’s office.

“The level of crime coming out of these motels is unacceptable and out of control,” Sorrells said in a press release. “They are a danger to the public and a drain on first responders in this county.”

“That’s why I’m taking decisive action to shut them down,” he added. “Protecting this community is my top priority.”

The petitions demand that management either clean up the properties or close them.

Super 7 Inn

The Super 7 Inn, located at 4433 South Freeway, generated 755 calls for service from January 1, 2024, to May 11, 2026, according to the DA’s office.

Police made 27 arrests involving 39 criminal offenses at the location. Those offenses included 13 narcotics violations, two weapons violations, three aggravated assaults, three criminal mischief cases, and five criminal trespass incidents.

Delux Inn

The Delux Inn, located at 4451 South Freeway, generated 933 calls for service during the same period.

Police made 47 arrests involving 71 criminal offenses. Those offenses included 25 narcotics violations, three weapons violations, four aggravated assaults, five criminal trespass incidents, and two robberies.

Other recurring crimes at the motels include prostitution, unlawful carrying of a weapon, and disorderly conduct, according to the DA’s office.

DA Seeks Closure

Sorrells said the motels have become recurring locations for crime and warned that his office could take similar action against other properties.

“These motels are notorious for being hubs of criminal activity,” Sorrells said. “If the owners won’t fix the problem, we will fix it for them.”

“This office will not hesitate to shut down any property that allows rampant crime over community safety,” he added.
