Texas Local Government Code Chapter 243 authorizes Bexar County to regulate sexually oriented businesses in unincorporated areas through location, hour, and licensing rules. The county requires permits, age 18 minimum, and significant separation from churches, schools, and homes.
Under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 243, Bexar County may regulate sexually oriented businesses in unincorporated areas. The county requires operators and entertainers to obtain permits from the Sheriff or designated official, prohibits employment of anyone under 18, and enforces minimum distance buffers from churches, schools, public parks, and residential property lines. State law also imposes a 5-dollar fee per customer entry under the Sexually Oriented Business Fee Act. Permit applications include background checks for prior sex offenses and vice convictions. Operating hours, signage, lighting, and on-site alcohol sales are restricted. Cities inside Bexar County impose their own parallel regulations.
Operating a sexually oriented business without a permit, employing minors, or violating buffer rules can trigger Class A misdemeanor charges, civil injunction, permit revocation, and nuisance abatement actions by the county.
