As early as next week, Gov. Greg Abbott said Texans could be allowed to go back to movie theaters, hair salons, dine-in restaurants and return to church under a new executive order he is working on.
On a Dallas-area radio program, Abbott said he’ll make an announcement on Friday this week or on Monday that will re-open “massive amounts of businesses” that have been closed since he issued a statewide stay-at-home order March 31. When he makes the announcement, Abbott said he will give businesses a week to do what they need to get ready to re-open.

“Judge” Clay Jenkins deeply saddened.

I certainly hope President Trump’s putdown of our GA governor today will not discourage the governor of Texas from doing what is right.
Love seeing this. First Kemp, then Gov Lee of Tn., now Abbot. Let’s let authoritarianism die quickly.
Walk it Gov. Abbott! The time for talk is waning quickly
Good. About damn time.
Well played Gov Abbott
How I wish Washington State had a Greg Abbott as its Governor. The man is such a treasure, best governor in the United States.
If this stupid, unecessarily lockdown goes another month there will be carnage.
Our city mayor has gone rogue...el paso ain’t going no where near opening!! Our nieghborhood park is still corded off with yellow tape and a security guard stationed to make sure we don’t break the unpardonable sin of breaking our shackles! POS!!
Long hot summer sweltering in a mask.
Allowed???
Since when have Americans conducting legitimate business had to seek permission?
Governor Greg’s Roller Disco.....where the magic happens until the lights come up.....
Governor Hogan in my state of Maryland says June. I doubt I will have a job to go back to and at 64, that’s a tad alarming.
In Houston Commissar Hildalgo only prohibited access to city parks during Easter Weekend, don’t you know.
Because of looming bad weather or peak transmission period or cosmic alignment or something.
Couldn’t be to keep Christians from gathering at safe distances to celebrate Good Friday and Easter, now could it?
“President Trump’s putdown of our GA governor today”
I hadn’t heard that. If he was putting down Kemp for reopening now I am disappointed to hear it.
>> allowed to go back to movie theaters
Eh, got movied out at home.
What about bars and concert halls?
Texas has done a great job so far and I see no reason why Abbott would change his mind. These are the kind of governors that need to lead us out of this quagmire
Very disappointing to see Trump going after Kemp. Dr Doom and Deborah still have way too much weight, their BS models cost 22 million jobs. They don’t want any opening anywhere because once the dominos start to fall we are going to see the truth.
