Good morning, again –

Today’s Texas Minute included a stray coding error that resulted in random county names being inserted in a bullet point, causing confusion. We’ve fixed the problem, but I wanted to make sure you had the correct information.

I apologize for the error and the confusion!

Copied below in full is the problematic section that has been fixed.

Re-Masking Texans Despite Gov. Greg Abbott’s recent executive order forbidding local governments from imposing mask mandates, local officials across the state are doing just that. Jacob Asmussen has the full story [[link removed]].

For example, the Williamson County District Court’s office, located in a suburb of Austin, announced they will require “all individuals coming to the Williamson County Justice Center, including the public and employees, … to wear face coverings and observe social distancing at all times in public spaces of the Justice Center unless otherwise noted.”

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner enacted a similar mask mandate for all city employees on city properties, and last week, Austin Mayor Steve Adler even wanted to force citizens to get injected with COVID vaccinations. [[link removed]]

All this is in direct contradiction to Gov. Abbott’s recent executive order specifically prohibiting local officials from mandating vaccines or masks on citizens.

Will Gov. Abbott do something about his order being ignored?

Frankly, the governor has shown himself to be all-bark, no-bite. Remember, he explicitly said he would arrest any of the quorum-busting Democrats when they returned to Texas but he didn’t do that; so it isn’t surprising that local officials aren’t taking his ‘ban’ seriously.
