HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) Like talk in every corner and kitchen table in our state, there is a lot of debate about Gov. Greg Abbott s order ending COVID-19 mandates in Texas next week.
Leaders who spoke with Eyewitness News Thursday night for our Action 13 Reopening Texas town hall said Abbott s decision came way too soon or not soon enough. I think this should ve been done a long time ago, Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough said. What he has done is going to create chaos, confusion and conflict, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner countered.
But as the head of the Texas Restaurant Association reminded us, the change is coming in less than a week and we all have to deal with it. Her members have spoken.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) Following Gov. Greg Abbott s decision to lift all COVID-19 restrictions, local businesses and restaurants are deciding whether they will drop or keep COVID-19 measures in place.
According to Abbott s executive order announced on Tuesday, starting Wednesday, March 10, all businesses located in counties that do not have high COVID-19 hospitalization numbers will be allowed to open at 100% capacity and will not be bound by COVID-19 restrictions and measures.
In the executive order, it states it s highly encouraged for people to wear a mask or face covering, but no jurisdiction may impose a penalty of any kind for failure to wear a face covering.
