Body art establishments may be inspected by a qualified sanitation inspector, from time to time, prior to the issuance of a permit by the city or afterwards, to insure compliance with the provisions of this chapter and state law. The body art establishment will be responsible for all costs associated with these inspections. In the event an inspection reveals that a body art establishment is in violation of any provision of this chapter, the city may revoke the permit issued by the city. The decision of whether a permit issued by the city should be revoked shall be made by the City Manager. Such decision shall be delivered by the City Manager to the permittee in writing. A permittee may appeal the City Manager's decision to the Board of Commissioners of the city in the same manner specified in § 113.04 (B) (4) above. In the event an inspection reveals that a body art establishment is in violation of any provision of state law, such violation shall be reported by the city official to the Texas Department of Health. The permittee or applicant and all agents and employees of the permittee or applicant shall cooperate with the city inspector with any relevant information requested to insure compliance with this chapter and state law and complete access to the body art establishment.
