'Chicas Locas' in court with city and county of El Paso
Oct 16, 2024
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – A judge could decide today whether Chicas Locas, a bikini bar, can continue to operate or be forced to close.
The bar is currently set up where the former strip club, ‘Jaguars Gold Club’ used to be, but it’s run by the same owner – RCI Holdings.
The injunction hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. in the 41st District Court before Judge Annabell Perez.
The City of El Paso is asking the court to consider a permanent injunction after new evidence surfaced alleging the establishment is working as a sexually oriented business without the proper permits.
