Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday sent a letter urging a Dallas judge to free a woman he sent to jail a day earlier after she refused to apologize for keeping her hair salon open in violation of Gov. Greg Abbott's order aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus.
Soon after, Abbott said he agreed with his attorney general on the matter.
Paxton, whose office said Shelly Luther was "unjustly jailed" in a release, told Dallas County State District Judge Eric Moyé that he had abused his discretion and emphasized that the woman was keeping her business open in order to feed her family.
"As a mother, Ms. Luther wanted to feed her children," Paxton said in his letter. "As a small business owner, she wanted to help her employees feed their children. Needless to say, these are laudable goals that warrant the exercise of enforcement discretion."
Luther was given three choices by the judge: She could offer an apology for selfishness, pay a fine and shutdown until Friday, or serve jail time.
"I have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that I'm selfish because feeding my kids is not selfish," she told the judge. "I have hairstylists that are going hungry because they would rather feed their kids. So sir, if you think the law is more important than kids getting fed, then please go ahead with your decision. But I am not going to shut the salon."

The should take the judges pay for six months and see how he feels
Time for that judge to be put on his horse and sent out of town.
Good. Now jail the judge.
Put somd meat behind the “urge. Go get the salon owner out of jail. Start acting like Alamo Texans.
And a reminder...the flu takes out thousands every winter...and no one says boo.
And how many babies were aborted lats year....murdered in their most vulnerable stage of life.
Good. Now let’s see what this obnoxious sob of a judge does
Didn’t Gov. Cuomo just state that most of NY’s new COVID-19 hospital cases are coming from being people who were sheltering at home?
*** “The should take the judges pay for six months and see how he feels” ***
House Arrest too and have Uniformed Officers flaunting their Freedom all around him and if he disapproves or does not obey ... Break Out the Billyclubs and Show Him who is BOSS! After he gets out of the Hospital and Pays a Fine he can spend some time in the Gray Bar Hotel and be released with an ankle monitor
He said largely sheltering at home.
Whatever the heck that means.
Moyé (Democratic Party) is running for re-election for
judge of the Texas 14th District Court. Moyé is on the
ballot in the general election on November 3, 2020.
This “judge” is in violation of 18 USC 41 and 42 and should be jailed for the maximum time in Federal Prison.
He would have NEVER jailed her had she been a black salon owner. He’s a lifelong black activist Democrat judge.
I think he just threw it out there as a BROAD statement since it makes no sense.
She had 2 options money or the risk of getting sick,most people always fail to plan for hard times.
One thing about risks they never go away.
Let’s free convicted criminals so we can jail hair dressers. Makes sense. /s
This is when a lawsuit is justified. I hope that she gets millions.
Let the lawsuits begin.
Last time I checked her GOFUNDME page it was well above $269,000 dollars
I agree. This guy proves any azzhole who wants to play the dictator role with the lives of others, can become a judge.
