BUMP

They won their appeal. Crisis over, and Doug Polk is probably sleeping a bit easier tonight.

This was from "Dream Crusher" on 2+2, who watched the hearing:

I thought the city attorney came out pretty strong while the TCH attorney came out pretty weak. The board shredded the Dallas city attorney though and then the TCH attorney finished strong rebutting the Dallas city attorney's previous points.

IMO, the crux of it came down to the fact that the city did do it's due diligence when TCH first opened and didn't really have a valid reason to pull the certificate of occupancy. The board can't really render a legal opinion, and the city's attorney's legal opinion alone wasn't enough to convince them considering the city doesn't even have the support of the DA, the state attorney general, or the police department on this, nor have there been any arrests/prosecutions or legal precedents that would give the board reason to side with the city on revocation of the certificate of occupancy.
