HOUSTON – Houston police and state officials executed a search warrant early Saturday at an east Houston strip club following months of complaints alleging illegal activity, authorities said.
Investigators with the Houston Police Department’s Northeast Division and Vice Division, along with the Texas State Comptroller’s Office, served the warrant around 1 a.m. at La Toxica Strip Club, 12910 East Freeway.
Officials said complaints over the past several months included allegations of prostitution, illegal alcohol sales, narcotics use and other offenses. During the search, investigators located more than a dozen dancers inside the club and worked with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office to determine possible charges.
Authorities also recovered suspected narcotics, illegal alcohol and additional tobacco and vape products that investigators said were not permitted. Multiple people were detained, including individuals believed to be part of the club’s management.
The investigation remains ongoing.
