HOUSTON - (January 19, 2012) - The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) has issued a license to sell liquor at the . The club (at 15000 Airport Freeway, Fort Worth) had been operating as a BYOB establishment for nearly a year pending resolution of a complaint by corporate neighbors, politicians and airport officials.

"We are delighted that we will now be able to offer our customers the full array of Rick's Cabaret entertainment, beverage service and hospitality," said Eric Langan, President and CEO of (NASDAQ:RICK), the publicly traded company that launched the club located at the southern exit of the world's seventh busiest airport. "We were always confident we met every legal qualification to provide liquor service to our customers and believed that the attempts to block us were politically motivated."

Mr. Langan said the company had hoped to operate as a full-service club a year ago, but the conflict over the liquor license delayed that plan. The official opening as a full-service cabaret is now scheduled for February 9th, with grand opening parties planned for March.

The DFW airport location is one of nine adult clubs currently operated by Rick's Cabaret in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, including the newest location, Silver City Cabaret; in Fort Worth; in Dallas catering to African-American gentlemen; plus in Dallas and in Fort Worth, and in Fort Worth.
