A group of several
dozen bar owners in Dallas, Frisco, Fort Worth and more say they want to
file a lawsuit this week after Gov. Greg Abbott ordered bars to close
June 26.
"We believe the governor’s order is vague, it’s ambiguous, and it violates the rights of these
bars as it relates to the Texas Constitution,"
says Dallas attorney Jason Friedman.
The co-owner of Dallas bars The Whippersnapper, High Fives and Tiny
Victories is spearheading the effort, saying the owners of Bottled
Blonde, STIRR, Vidorra, Clutch bar and others are joining him in the
yet-to-be-filed lawsuit. Their opinion is that restaurants and bars
should be treated the same during the coronavirus pandemic — even as Texas
has become a national hot spot with a spike in cases.
