TYLER --- A lawyer is now involved in a dispute between the Oil Palace and the Health District, after weeks of notices and the possibility the venue could be shut down.
Oil Palace owners say, if they want a legal fight, they'll give them one. It all started a couple of months ago when Glenn Beck came to town. Oil Palace owners say the water was mysteriously turned off. NETP Health District workers came by with an order to shut them down.
Once the water was turned back on, the owners decided to go on with the Beck appearance.
They also gated and locked the water valves knowing other events coming up included school graduations and an appearance by Sarah Palin later this month.
Attorney Jeff Baynham says they're still getting notices from the health distric saying they may be fined or shut down.
This after owners got independent contractors to come in and verify their water supply was safe.
"I'm not sure why the state has objections. With all of the engineering studies that have been done by professionals, and they say there are no problems; why they say they've got problems," Baynham.
Brenda Elrod from the NETP Health District is addressing rumors the issue is politically motivated.
"It has everything to do with an imminent health hazard. It's a situation where the water supply it had been compromised," Elrod.
She says they're waiting for owners at the Oil Palace to give them proof they've corrected the issue. Right now, all events at the Oil Palace are still scheduled as planned.

That ain’t fishy, that’s Chicago Thugocracy.
“Something fishy is going on with the Health Department in Tyler.”
Nothing fishy...just democrats carrying out their self-appointed duty to keep the home-grown terrorists out of the place.
Why don’t the Tyler tools just be honest and say, don’t want Conservative Republicans speaking here so are closing
down.
Health Dist. excuse is lame.
Tyler itself is a very Conservative city but like most cities, they have liberal dolts working in city offices.
They better check for life preservers and fire extinguishers too, lest the coast guard try to shut them down as well.
Tyler is “Oil”, such as the Oil Palace. Most of the Oil to fight WW II came from the East Texas Oil Fields.
Tyler will “purge” whomever is found to be responsible.....the “good ‘ole boy” network is armed and dangerous in Tyler.
Y’all Liberals be careful out thar now, ya hear ?
Oh, I forgot TYLER = OIL = $$$’s
Hell, we got Churces in Tyler that are Bigger than the Pentagon.
Even small towns like Jefferson have their village idiots!
I’m surprised this wasn’t tracked down after it happened the first time and dealt with then.
The roughnecks should take care of it!
Monkey Business PING!!!!
It would be nice to know what state we’re talking about ... LOL ...
