In Texas, Strippers are Prostitutes

In Killeen, Texas, undercover state investigators enjoyed a couple of paid lap dances, and the two women who performed for them were arrested and charged with prostitution.
The Texas penal code states that prostitution occurs when a person knowingly "offers to engage, agrees to engage, or engages in sexual conduct for a fee; or solicits another in a public place to engage with him in sexual conduct for hire." Part of the penal code's definition of sexual conduct, includes sexual contact, which is defined as "any touching of the anus, breast, or any part of the genitals of another person with intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person."...Six TABC officers contributed to the arrests, and two officers made about four trips to the strip club since October to investigate the complaints. During undercover investigations at strip clubs, the procedure dictates that officers are to act as customers and to only accept services that are initiated and offered by the dancers.
I hope all the officers were sufficiently aroused and gratified during their grueling investigation.
