Texas Shuts Down Massage Parlors Over Trafficking

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) has issued six-month emergency closure orders for Top A-Massage and Best Massage in Burleson, Texas, due to suspected human trafficking. Investigations revealed indicators such as employees living on-site, unlicensed therapists, and listings on explicit websites. In a similar case, TDLR permanently banned Nhon Tinh To, the owner of Sen Spa in Garland, from the massage industry after finding provocative clothing, stockpiles of condoms, and evidence of sexual services. Both closures and the ban highlight ongoing efforts to combat human trafficking in massage parlors. Authorities urge the public to report any suspected human trafficking to the National Hotline for Human Trafficking or call 911 in emergencies.
