The Tarrant County District Attorney’s office is suing two Fort Worth motels over what the DA says is out-of-control crime.
Tarrant County DA Phil Sorrells said between January 2024 and May 11, 2026, Fort Worth Police have responded to 1,700 calls at the Super 7 and Delux Inn motels for drugs, robberies and more.
“You need to get control of your property, and if you don’t, we’re going to shut you down,” Sorrells said.
Fort Worth Police data showed that 755 of those calls were from the Super 7 Inn, resulting in 27 arrests for 39 criminal offenses. Another 933 calls came from Delux Inn, with 47 arrests for 71 criminal offenses.
“That volume of crime is outrageous, it’s a nuisance, and it’s got to end,” Sorrells said. “Officers are repeatedly called back to these two properties instead of protecting other areas of our community.”
NBC 5 reached out to the businesses’ owners, but did not receive a response.
Sorrells said repeat crimes and offenders are impacting the quality of life for residents. In the neighborhood, there are many families, some with young kids.
“Sometimes we find all the drugs back there, I guess they hide them,” Mariel Barajas, who has two young kids, said. “It’s very worrisome…the girls should be able to play outside.”
Barajas said that one of her neighbors once organized a neighborhood petition to get city and county officials to help.
Neighbor Adrian Barrerra said his wife has called the police countless times.
Some neighbors have created petitions to get city and county officials to help.
“Yeah, she gets really angry about it,” Barrera said. “I told her, keep calling so somebody could listen.”
And now they feel like someone is, with the two new lawsuits working to get the properties under control.
Sorrells said the county sued other businesses with similar issues in the past and shut them down.
“Left unchecked, these activities contribute to neighborhood deterioration,” Fort Worth Police Department Assistant Chief Chris Daniels said.
