FORT WORTH-- Texas' liquor board said Friday that an internal investigation found no evidence agents used excessive force during a controversial raid at a gay bar.

The agency also said it will change a number of operating procedures, including the manner in which internal affairs cases are handled.

The bar raid at the Rainbow Lounge in fort Worth last June left a customer with severe head injuries and sparked protests from the gay community.

Fort Worth police, who assisted during the raid, announced today that its internal affairs investigation didn't find evidence of excessive force.

Police Chief Jeffrey Halstead said he would institute new policies on bar checks and public intoxication arrests.
