Specifically, the TDLR is instructed to establish clear rules and procedures for licensing, operation, and inspection of such clubs, with an encouragement to collaborate with stakeholders like law enforcement and community organizations. The agency is also required to provide regular updates to the Texas Legislature about the progress and impact of these new regulations, including any recommendations for future improvements.
