A Dallas poker business will stay open while it continues to challenge the city's efforts to shut it down. Dallas officials can't force Texas Card House to close or interfere with its ongoing business pending a final ruling on the poker club's appeals of the city revoking its certificate of occupancy, according to a court order signed by District Judge Eric Moye on Monday. The decision stems from an April lawsuit from the city's top building inspection official against Dallas' citizen Board of Adjustment, which disagreed that Texas Card House should lose its certificate after city attorneys and building officials changed their minds on whether poker businesses can legally operate in Dallas.
