San Antonio massage chain shut down over allegations it did more than rub people's feet

Texas regulators closed down a chain of San Antonio massage parlors last month, alleging the businesses likely engaged in illicit sexual services and human trafficking, state officials said Monday. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) on Jan. 21 closed all three of Ping's Best Foot Massage's San Antonio locations for six months, the agency said. The action followed an investigation that discovered the parlors were probably violating state law by selling sexual services, according to authorities.
