Representative Harless was able to convince the Senate Criminal Justice committee to hear her bill,and it was tacked on to the schedule for tomorrow, Tuesday, May 19th.  The hearing will begin at 1:30 pm or whenever the Senate convenes.  HB3094 is one of many bills scheduled to be heard, and even though this bill is #23 on the list, it could be heard at any time.  I am hoping that we will have some members of the massage community appear and testify against the bill that equates massage parlors with massage establishments.  It would be even better if they were from Harris County or the Houston area.  I know many have written their senators and representatives, but they still need to hear from you. Hopefully we can block this bill once and for all.
