A legal battle is underway over Rodeo Dallas, a nightclub in Deep Ellum that was shut down Aug. 8 after property owners secured a temporary restraining order.<\/p>\n
The order was filed by Asana Partners, who claim the bar is a public nuisance contributing to crime in the area. They accuse operators of overserving patrons \u2014 including minors \u2014 and failing to search for weapons.<\/p>\n
Community voices mixed reactions<\/p>\n
“I feel like it’s unfair\u2026 I don’t think the bar owners, or the property owners, could control what the people do, you know,” said Jorge Romero.<\/p>\n
Crime statistics cited in testimony<\/p>\n
According to hearing testimony this week, there have been five shootings and four murders in the area since March.<\/p>\n
“Everywhere there’s always going to be problems, there’s always going to be issues you can’t control of the people around you; you can only control yourself, and if you see it’s not going well, get yourself out of that area and go somewhere else. You don’t have to go towards problems; you choose to, so no, I don’t think you should get shut down as a whole, I think it’s certain individuals that make it a problem.”<\/p>\n
Property owners seek extended restrictions<\/p>\n
If the court rules against permanently closing the bar, property owners are asking for the restraining order to be extended until Aug. 22. They’ve also requested a temporary injunction to require the bar to close at 11 p.m. instead of 2 a.m.<\/p>\n
Awaiting the judge’s decision<\/p>\n
CBS News Texas reached out to the office of Judge Veretta Frazier, who is handling the case, to ask when a decision might be announced. A response is still pending.<\/p>\n
