Small Business Owners- COVID 19

Small business owners across Houston are trying to ensure they are protected with our COVID 19 situation. After Judge Hidalgo signed the order to close all food and beverage storefronts, many restaurant owners are faced with the grim future of how to avoid bankruptcy and potential evictions.

Although residential evictions have been halted in Harris County, small business owners are still left vulnerable.
The Houston restaurant community has penned a letter to Mayor Sylvester Turner requesting assistance. The letter asks to establish protocol that would help them survive this unknown length of time they will be closed:

  • State sales tax relief.
  • Landlord provisions including rent at cost only, a 30 day relief, or renegotiating leases.
  • Provide sick pay for employees.
  • Insurance denial provisions, such as allowing restaurants to file ‘interruption of business' claims.

Hieu Huynh, DDS, JD has a proclivity towards small business owners, as he has been a small business owner in Houston for over two decades. He personally understands the anxiety and uncertainty that many of our area small business owners are currently experiencing. Dr. Huynh is happy to help with any questions he can answer and any guidance he can offer. Our struggling and shocked industry is going to take quite some time to recover.
