    Default Laws in Houston regarding stripping?

    I have googled myself half to death, and I can't seem to find any (official) websites with the laws. Actually I can't find ANY. I saw a 3-foot rule mentioned in a yahoo answers thing, but that's it. Anyone have a link? Or maybe know the laws off the top of your head? Thanks!

    ARTICLE VIII. SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESS EMPLOYEES, CONDUCT AND OPERATIONS Houston, TexasCode of Ordinances
    Sec. 28-258. Conduct of employees.permanent link to this piece of content

    (a) It shall be unlawful for any entertainer to touch a customer or the clothing of a customer while engaging in entertainment or while exposing any specified anatomical areas or engaging in any specified sexual activities.
    (b) It shall be unlawful for any entertainer to approach closer than three feet to any customer while engaging in entertainment or while exposing any specified anatomical areas or engaging in any specified sexual activities.
    (c)It shall be unlawful for any employee to engage in entertainment or to expose any specified anatomical areas or engage in any specified sexual activities in the presence of a customer in any separate area within an enterprise to which entry or access is blocked or obscured by any door, curtain or other barrier separating entry to such area from any other area of the enterprise.



    It can be hard to find this sort of information since so many cities use different terms --- adult entertainment parlour is used in my city, but Houston uses sexually oriented business. I find it helpful to google city + bylaws or ordinances, as usually they are all available online somewhere, and then search within the code for terms like sexually or adult etc. Sometimes simply googling city + adult entertainment bylaws turns things up though. If nothing else, you can generally call the city and they will be able to direct you to the right place.

    There are a lot of threads regarding the nuances of Houston's SOB laws on this site. Particularly helpful are posts by anacol and bunny8558. If you have a particular club in mind you want information on, it would be helpful to name it. There are different rules for different clubs, and so it would be misleading to give you blanket statements/guidelines. The best I can say is that if the club you are looking at requires pasties/full bottoms, it is most likely a 3-foot rule club. If it is just regulation thong, it probably has rules regarding contact, but does not require you to remain three feet away from customers while performing. Regardless of where you go, most girls break any/all contact laws in Houston because most dancers in Houston are in-club prostitutes, from my experience. (However, this doesn't mean that you won't be the one arrested/fined/reprimanded if you choose to break the contact laws as well.)

    I am actually really interested in St James, and supposedly it's outside of the city limits and thus falls under county ordinances.


    And thanks <3! I search for more posts now!
