    Mind Blowing Legal problems working in TX

    I recently visited Austin and I was told I could get a prostitution ticket for giving a lap dance? I know that VICE just loves to screw with the girls so I intentionally pick cities where that's not an issue. Anyways all the girls in the club were giving dances and I was really confused about what I was suppose to do so I left. I have to find a city to work in that I could actually live in for the next 5 years. Austin had everything I want warm weather, university, decent economy. I've only worked in rural areas can anyone tell me anything about the legal risks of dancing in Austin or Dallas. I've heard they are really screwing with the girls for stupid stuff?

    That's absolutely ridiculous. Somebody was messing with you hardcore. Of course there are rules to lap dancing but, they are given to you by the club when you get hired. Just read the rules and observe what's going on.. you'll be able to see what's okay and not okay. The major thing girls get in trouble for is dancing with no shoes on.. Which, I couldn't imagine putting my precious feet on a nasty ass strip club floor with cigarette ash and spilt booze... Shnasty.. I love dancing in Austin!

    were you @ ricks? because mgmt likes to list off ALLLLLL the things you can get in trouble for. The actual club doesn't enforce it. TABC comes in fairly frequently, but the floor guys are really good about letting everyone know, so you can stop taking stage tips in your g-string (illegal), cover up your bum while not giving a dance (illegal) and keep one foot on the floor at all times (lifting both is illegal). so don't listen to them. just don't give super-grindy dances, and you'll be okay.

    When TABC used to come into my club in El Paso, we would "accidentally" have NWA's "Fuck the Police" on our playlist.

    For a lot of things in a lapdance-- yes, technically and legally many common moves are illegal. grinding is illegal, boobs in face is illegal, straddling a customer is definitely illegal... im not sure the lengthy list.

    to stay perfectly legal, dances would have to be pretty lame. i agree with surprise though... just dont be too over the top. most of the girls in austin will be giving two way contact full grind dances at minimum (at least in my experience). So if your dances are clean and not high contact then you should be cool.

    as to whether TABC is really fucking with the girls- i think it varies club to club. I think p10 gets the most, and im assuming since ricks is right next to it it gets a lot too. Ask the girls at your club-- well ask the sane girls. i dont think they are super active though.

    also, i see ou are anticipating a good economy in austin-- IME, this doesnt really extend to the clubs. and outside of the club, i also have a bunch of 'funemployed' friends in austin too. so dont expect a super recession proof economy. and as far as the clubs-- expect it to be over saturated with girls. oh, and welcome to texas, the customers there love to grope dem tittiez.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Texas law actually has some fairly bizarre wording in their prostitution laws. For example, consider this scenario. Two dancers are on stage at the same time while customers are tipping at the rail. One dancer happens to brush the other dancer's breast. An undercover cop hops up from the main room and busts both dancers for prostitution !!!

    How is this possible ? Well Texas law defines prostitution as providing sexual contact in exchange for money ... with breast touching considered to be a form of sexual contact. Additionally, Texas law does NOT require that the person paying the money and the person engaging in sexual contact be the same person ! Where lap dances are concerned, Texas law also considers any contact with the 'groin' area to be a form of sexual contact, whether or not clothing is present in between !

    So yeah from a purely legal standpoint, just about everything that typically occurs in Texas clubs on a nightly basis can technically be considered as prostitution. Of course, this doesn't do anything to reduce contact levels, and actually promotes extreme contact levels. The obvious reason for this 'moral hazard' situation ( no pun intended ) is that, from the standpoint of the severity of legal charges and the magnitude of the fine, there is no legal difference between a dancer giving a light contact lap dance versus giving a HJ or BJ ! However, there is typically a large monetary difference in terms of dancer earnings.

    Also, in the ultimate irony, girls who choose to give HJ's and BJ's, and who have a ton of money stashed away as a result, have the cash to engage their own well connected attorney and thus stand a better chance of beating the charge. This is in comparison to a relatively clean dancer who doesn't have a ton of money stashed away, being stuck with the club's attorney arranging a plea bargain or stuck with a colluded public defender !

    Thank you all, that put's things in prospective. Ever since MO passed state laws all the girl ran over to KS and it's been harder to get a job, not impossible, just harder.
