Governor Greg Abbott has issued Executive Order 29 requiring all Texans to wear a face covering over the nose and mouth in public spaces, with few exceptions, in counties with 20 or more positive COVID-19 cases.  Open Texas checklists are being updated consistent with this order and will be posted after noon on Friday, July 3, 2020.

The Governor also issued a proclamation giving mayors and county judges to impose restrictions on some outdoor gatherings of over 10.
