Amplified music can now return to the White Oak Music Hall after a judge denied extending a temporary restraining order at the live music complex.

Spokeswoman Erin Woolsey confirmed there was a court hearing on Wednesday to extend the amplified music ban beyond Friday. Earlier this month, Harris County Judge Michael Gomez issued the ban.

NOISY NEIGHBORS: Neighbors file suit against White Oak Music Hall developers

Near Northside neighbors filed a lawsuit against the developers and operators of the White Oak Music Hall in mid-December, arguing the noise from concerts and large crowds interferes with their property rights.

Woolsey said in a release that the White Oak Music Hall can return to playing outdoor amplified live music.

"Temporary restraining orders prohibiting otherwise legal activity negatively impact all businesses subject to them," Will Garwood, managing member of White Oak Music, said in the release. "We look forward to full vetting of the plantiffs' allegations at the injunction hearing."

The law firm of Feldman and Fledman, representing the residents surrounding the White Oak Music Hall, said in a statement that it's not surprising that the request was denied since there are no scheduled concerts at the venue until the next hearing.

"It is intriguing that Mr. Will Garwood of the White Oak Mosh Pit seems excited today," the statement reads. "He has caused children to have sleepless nights, and has denied silent nights to thousands of his neighbors. On Jan. 12, we will be ready to expose this assault on taxpayers."
