DALLAS, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) — Due to the coronavirus spread, Judge Clay Jenkins ordered that Dallas County is to shelter-in-place starting Monday.
The order, effective as of 11:59 p.m. Mar. 23, will prohibit residents from leaving their residence unless for an “essential activity.” It will continue until 11:59 p.m. Apr. 3.
For the purposes of this order, residences include hotels, motels, shared rentals and similar facilities.
Anyone who leaves their residence is to provide or perform essential governmental functions, or to operate essential businesses.
All non-essential businesses operating within Dallas County are required to cease all activities at facilities located within the county. However, businesses can continue operations consisting exclusively of employees or contractors working from home.

Sounds eerily familiar to me.
How died and made this judge God?
According to his statement, I’ve just been classed as an essential business/worker as I’m in IT.
He doesn’t have the authority to do that.
Yep, gotta keep that porn flowing 24/7
Is that a result of a case before him or fiat bench order?
Under what authority does a member of the judiciary have this power? This judge is obviously mentally impaired and therefore incompetent to the point of needing to be placed in a mental facility as he’s obviously a danger to others. As regards a danger to himself, who cares.
What exactly does “shelter-in-place” mean? Can people still go to the grocery store?
More seriously, we do have to keep the cash registers, ATMs, phone systems, bank computers, remote access servers and everything else running. Otherwise we’d get *no* economic activity instead of just limited activity.
Look how EASY it is to CONTROL OUR FREEDOMS!
No idea if a Judge means something different in Texas, but that’s NOT his role in any other state.
It’s a peculiarity of the Texas county government system. Details here: https://www.dallascounty.org/government/comcrt/
See post 12. He’s basically the chief elected county official, the head of the elected county commission.
What about the homeless who have no “residence?” Are they allowed to roam free? This guy is an idiot.
Unconstitutional.
I think the "Judge" is drunk.
How many divisions does the judge have?
I guess you are not expendable as much as you may have wish you would be
They CANNOT keep people outta Churches!!
