FORT WORTH, Texas — Tarrant County District Attorney Phil Sorrells has filed public nuisance lawsuits aimed at shutting down two south Fort Worth motels that authorities say have become centers of persistent criminal activity.
The lawsuits, filed Tuesday, target the Super 7 Inn at 4433 South Freeway and the Delux Inn at 4451 South Freeway.
According to the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office, nearly 1,700 calls for service were made to the two properties between January 2024 and May 2026. The calls involved a wide range of criminal activity, including narcotics offenses, weapons violations, aggravated assaults, robberies, criminal trespassing, prostitution, disorderly conduct, and other crimes.
"The level of crime coming out of these motels is unacceptable and out of control," Sorrells said. "They are a danger to the public and a drain on first responders in this county."
The lawsuits seek court intervention requiring management to significantly improve conditions at the properties or face closure.
Super 7 Inn
According to court filings, Fort Worth police responded to 755 calls for service at the Super 7 Inn between January 1, 2024, and May 11, 2026.
During that period, officers made 27 arrests involving 39 criminal offenses, including:
- 13 narcotics violations
- Two weapons violations
- Three aggravated assaults
- Three criminal mischief offenses
- Five criminal trespassing incidents
Delux Inn
Authorities reported even higher activity at the Delux Inn, where officers responded to 933 calls for service during the same period.
Police made 47 arrests involving 71 criminal offenses, including:
- 25 narcotics violations
- Three weapons violations
- Four aggravated assaults
- Five criminal trespassing incidents
- Two robberies
Investigators said both motels have experienced recurring issues involving prostitution, unlawful carrying of weapons, and disorderly conduct.
District Attorney Seeks Immediate Action
Sorrells said the county will continue pursuing legal action against properties that allow criminal activity to persist.
"These motels are notorious for being hubs of criminal activity," Sorrells said. "If the owners won't fix the problem, we will fix it for them."
He added that community safety remains the primary concern behind the lawsuits.
"This office will not hesitate to shut down any property that allows rampant crime over community safety," Sorrells said.
The lawsuits are pending in Tarrant County courts.
