Lubbock Game Room Owner Challenges New Restrictions

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.
