Barreras said no hanky panky at his business and noted he pays about 1600 a month for his unit in the Odessa strip. The site was zoned for a massage parlor but city officials have not received any paper to annul the certificate of occupancy. It remains unclear if the parlor will reopen. Municipal officers have not yet returned the search warrant, which would become public. Police ask locals to report crimes at massage parlors and game rooms to 432-335-3333.
