COLLEYVILLE, Texas — Business owners were nervous ahead of opening Wednesday, as the state’s mask requirement and capacity limitations were lifted, according to the Texas Restaurant Association.
Governor Greg Abbott announced the changes last week, while also paving the way for business owners to set and enforce their own COVID-19 policies. The mandate was lifted Wednesday, March 10.
“Restaurants and our employees were eager and a little trepidatious about today,” said Kelsey Erickson Streufert, of the TRA.
The TRA recently updated its guidance ahead of the new policies.
