New details emerge in wage-theft suit against San Antonio favorite Delia's Tamales

New details have emerged in the fraud and age-discrimination lawsuit against South Texas institution Delia's Tamales, including allegations the company maintained two sets of books: one for legitimate payroll checks and another to track under-the-table cash payments. The claims the McAllen-based chain kept two sets of books arose Tuesday during an online status hearing hosted by U.S. Magistrate Judge Peter Bray, who's presiding over the case, news site MyRGV.com reports. The Delia's chain operates six popular Rio Grande Valley restaurants and drew lines around the building when it opened its first San Antonio location in 2020.
