HOUSTON — A restaurant operator alleges the new owners of his leased premises locked him out of the building and destroyed his customer relations.
Rogelip Aguilar filed a complaint Nov. 3 in the Harris County District Court against BF Town Properties LLC, Kit Joseph Shum and Arturo Huerta alleging fraud and other claims.
