Phase II of Texas' ongoing plan to open while containing the spread of COVID-19 is underway.
Under Phase II, additional services and activities can open and restaurants may increase their occupancy to 50%. The Texas Department of Health and Human Services (DSHS) has also laid out minimum standard health protocols for all newly opened services and activities.
In-person summer school for public schools in Texas may resume on June 1st so long as they follow social distancing guidelines and health protocols laid out by DSHS.
Vis Executive Order, the following services and activities may open under Phase II:
As we continue to open the Lone Star State, I ask Texans to continue abiding by the guidance of our state and federal medical experts to protect public health.
We will overcome this challenge together.

RAISING TAXES ON TEXANS IS NEVER THE ANSWER
[link removed]
This week I wrote a letter to members of the Texas Democratic Congressional Delegation regarding tax burdens on Texans.
In my letter, I urged local governments - who set property tax rates - to find ways to reduce tax burdens on Texans.
Property owners shouldn't be saddled with rising property taxes, especially not while we're dealing with a global pandemic.
Whether we're facing times of challenge or times of prosperity - raising taxes on the people of Texas is never the answer.
TEXAS NAMED TOP DESTINATION FOR CORPORATE MOVES IN 2019
[link removed]
Texas was the top destination for corporate moves in 2019 and we are committed to keeping it that way.
That's why we are focused on opening our economy while mitigating the spread of COVID-19. If we do this, we will keep Texas the best state for business.
WAIVING LATE FEES FOR TABC LICENSE AND PERMIT RENEWALS
[link removed]
I have authorized Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) license and permit renewals to occur after the current 30 day grace period after an expiration date without any late fees.
This waiver applies to renewals with an expiration date on or after March 13, 2020.
We are ensuring Texas entrepreneurs and business owners are supported as we kick-start our economy and continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
ANNOUNCING $3M IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
[link removed]
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has received more than $3 million in federal funding to provide shelter and services to survivors of family and domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As we respond to COVID-19, the Lone Star State remains committed to supporting survivors of family and domestic violence and keeping Texans safe.
CELEBRATING NATIONAL EMS WEEK
[link removed]
As we celebrate National Emergency Services (EMS) Week, join the First Lady and I in taking a moment to honor the tireless efforts from our frontline responders across Texas.
During these unprecedented times, our brave first responders are delivering life-saving medical services to people across the country.
We thank you for all that you continue to do in our communities. God bless you all.
