Legacy
For two years after the Chicken Ranch was closed, potential customers continued to arrive. The house was purchased by two Houston lawyers. In 1977 part of the house and the original furniture were moved to Dallas, where it was opened as a restaurant, with Milton as the hostess. The restaurant closed in 1978.
In 1979, Miss Edna opened a bar on Lemon Avenue in Dallas also named The Chicken Ranch. Business was not good, and the bar closed sometime in 1980.
The Texas Chicken Ranch is the basis for the 1978 Broadway musical and later movie The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. It also inspired the ZZ Top song "La Grange".
