Lubbock Game Room Owner Challenges New Restrictions

Lubbock Countys game room regulations tighten, limiting hours and requiring permits, background checks, and a peace officer on site. Game room owner Eric Thompson, facing a lawsuit and misdemeanor charge, argues the rules will cut his workforce and disrupt customers. Thompsons private investigator found illegal cash payouts at other game rooms, but authorities target his compliant business. Commissioners and the sheriff debate the ordinances effectiveness, while Thompson claims open meetings laws were violated with unannounced changes.
