A recent court decision has allowed certain establishments in downtown Brownsville to remain operational. This comes after the city had taken action due to concerns over health and safety. The city attorney has noted that some of these establishments are working to meet necessary requirements.

Further action is expected on July 22, when a longer-term decision will be made. Some bars are currently going through an appeal process to regain their certificates of occupancy. More information on this situation can be found through MyRGV.
