The Amarillo Massage Establishment Ordinance, effective from January 1, 2024, will enter its next phase on March 1. This ordinance complements a licensing requirement by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, mandating an application process and inspections for all Amarillo massage establishments.
The application process necessitates an annual application, including employee records and state-issued picture IDs for owners and employees. Applications can be obtained online from the city’s website or from the City Marshal’s Office at 810 S. Buchanan.
The Marshal’s Office operates from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Applications, accompanied by a $250 application fee and an annual fee, can be submitted online or in-person.
Inspections will be carried out unannounced to ensure compliance with the ordinance and regulations set by Amarillo and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
