Judge rejects Treasures bid, orders it to pay up - Houston weather, traffic, news | FOX 26 | MyFoxHouston

An adult nightclub has lost its bid to have its case heard in federal court.

Harris County and City of Houston officials sued Treasures for being a "nuisance bar", a haven for drugs and prostitution.

Wednesday, a federal judge ruled the case must be sent back to a lower state court where Treasures faces a long list of sanctions.  The judge also ordered Treasures to pay all attorney fees and court costs associated with their attempt to move the case from state court.
