Why this matters in Frisco News
The lawsuit filed by the Tarrant County District Attorney's office against the Super 7 and Delux Inn motels has significant implications for Frisco residents who frequently travel to neighboring Fort Worth. As a community within the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Frisco's residents often commute to Fort Worth for work, entertainment, or other activities, and the high crime rates at these motels can impact their safety. The fact that Fort Worth Police have responded to over 1,700 calls at these two properties in just over two years is alarming and suggests that the crime is not only affecting local residents but also potentially spilling over into surrounding areas, including Frisco. The success of this lawsuit could set a precedent for how Collin and Denton counties address similar issues in their own jurisdictions, including Frisco, where residents may be facing similar concerns about crime-ridden businesses.
