WACO, TX â Wednesday marks the first day Texas will not have mask mandate and will be allowed to open at 100%.
It's a move experts say is the first step to getting businesses and tourism back, if not better than before the pandemic.
"I'm even like very pro-mask, but we're starting to reach that point where it is a little bit safer to start opening things up," said Jenny Lane, who is visiting Texas.
Lane and her family members are considering moving to Texas from Utah and Arizona. They say they're drawn in by country living and that many businesses still have the choice when it comes to enforcing masks.
