Notorious Houston Nightclub Cle Slapped With Yet Another Liquor License Suspension | Eater Houston

"Notorious locally for repeatedly flouting COVID-19 rules in 2020 by operating as a “reception hall” to sidestep social-distancing and capacity limits, this nightclub has accumulated multiple TABC penalties over the past 16 months — including a 60-day suspension that began in January — and is run by an operator whose venues have faced repeated enforcement. Over the weekend it was thrust back into the headlines after a late-night, single-shooter incident left two people dead and two wounded (one in critical condition), prompting the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission to impose a seven-day liquor-license suspension while investigators and Houston police probe the case; the club may be allowed to resume operations after that period pending the results of the investigation." - Amy McCarthy
