On Appeal from the County Criminal Court, No. 4, Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. MA03-73776-E Affirmed.

Before Justices MOSELEY, FRANCIS, and MAZZANT.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Ingrid Helgesen is charged by information with violating section 41A-18.1 of the Dallas City Code. Appellant filed a pretrial application for writ of habeas corpus asserting that the information is void because the legislature improperly delegated unbridled authority to municipalities to create criminal offenses. In Ex parte Smalley, No. 05-04-00908-CR (Tex.App.-Dallas, Nov. 9, 2004, no pet. h.), this Court concluded that chapter 243 of the Texas Local Government Code is not an unconstitutional delegation of authority to municipalities and that the statute permits municipalities to regulate employee/customer conduct and punish violations as Class A misdemeanors. Therefore, we resolve appellant's issues against her. We affirm the trial court's order denying appellant the relief sought by her application for writ of habeas corpus.
