El Paso city officials said the shelter, now renamed the Family Crisis Shelter of El Paso, not to be confused with the original Dame La Mano shelter, still has several pending issues and will now have a day in municipal court.

"We haven't gotten any other letters or anything like that," said David Arrellano, operator of the Family Crisis Shelter of El Paso.

The shelter is located at 2900 Rosa in south central El Paso. Arrellano said since KFOX14 did a story in December about the shelter being forced to shut down because of code violations, it hasn't had any problems with the city. At that time, the city said they would continue to work with the shelter to get it up to code.

Arrellano said the city has been working with him to be able to have occupancy in a manufacturing zone.

"They told us it's going to take awhile because they have to do some discovery and see if other cities are doing it and submit to city council on the agenda," said Arrellano.

He said the city's main concern was safety, particularly fire safety, so the El Paso Fire Department went in and trained some of the residents.

"All the men residents that stay upstairs and downstairs that at all times look for fire hazards," said Arrellano. "A company is already donating a fire alarm and the whole sprinkler system."

Arrellano said they have even started construction at the once warehouse.

"Separating the kitchen with the restroom and it's practically falling apart," said Arrellano. "We are in the process of working on a handicap accessible restroom."

Arrellano is focusing his attention on looking for donors to build even more rooms at the once warehouse. He said he was unaware he has to be concerned with a future court date.

"No legal troubles," said Arrellano.

Arrellano said KFOX14 was the first to tell him about any legal troubles he is facing. City officials said they are moving forward with legal action because of pending issues at the shelter. City officials said they can't comment any further, except that a court date is set in municipal court in reference to environmental issues.

Arrellano said 15 families -- about 60 people, mostly children are currently staying at the shelter.

KFOX14 will be keeping track of court records and will report on what happens to the shelter when Arrellano goes before the judge.
