The Republican's new order, which supersedes local orders, allows businesses like retail stores, malls, restaurants and theaters to reopen Friday but limits occupancy to 25%.
The order will also allow libraries and museums to open.Abbott noted that he wants barbershops, salons, gyms and bars open"as soon as possible" and expects them to open no later than mid-May.This is a breaking story and will be updated.

tRump should 1st ReOpenTheWhiteHouse as an example to all 50 states. Otherwise tRump is a lying coward, the same as he was during Vietnam.
Texas reopens one day after experiencing its deadliest day due to the virus
Yeehaw, Texans! GregAbbott_TX I’m going to the mall, then the theater, then the museum, then for a nice covid salad with ranch! Who’s with me?! 🙄 DontMessWithTexas... CuzTexasMessesWithItself
Things going back to normalcy slowly
I wish I could afford to fly to Texas (just to get a haircut 💇)
Thank you Governor Abbott! texasreopening
Don’t be stupid people
Nnñ
R.I.P Texas.
Way to put health last! Wait til this backfires and we have more sick people because of your decision! And then back to shelter in place! And keep those “strong” suggestions about wearing a maskl coming, like they will listen. Here comes round two thanks to you.
So when Texas opens up and people are going to die. I won’t feel bad for those who don’t listen to the professionals. And if they die they Kinda Sordo look for it

OK, and if you get sick, did you know that you can 'sue' him court? YESSSSS.!
Good luck with that.
South Korea never shutdown, did best dealing w COVID. This irrational politics-based outrage is crazy. People can wear masks, maintain distance. In MD we’re on lockdown - people are out in stores and (gasp) everyone’s acting responsibly. Remember when people acted responsibly?
I can’t wait to go to the theater and get infected!
This is the type of crap you get when Republicans are put in charge. VOTE DEMOCRAT PEOPLE AND SAVE LIVES!
Sit back and watch the COVID-19 spike.
GovAbbott Where are the COVID19 tests We are ranked close to bottom in testing! Chop Chop
Now talk about TaraReade
Prepare for a second wave
Restaurants may be started in OPEN AIR RESTAURANT model max. at countryside or building top
Love my governor!!!
Stop covering up the Biden sex assault story.
Another Trump lick boy
Trump,Abbott who want us to go back out and take a risk should lead by example, visit a local restaurant or theatre. Trump should be first in rolling up his sleeve for these crazy treatment trials he continues to suggest like ingesting disinfectants. Put up or shut the hell up!!
'focus groups'
This is the real news CNN. Stop trying to distract us from the truth
Losing too much revenue. Businesses that want to open should be required to carry Covid-Spread insurance, which covers them if it is determined that someone contracted the virus in their establishment.
25% capacity. How will they control that? Angry mobs wanting to go to these places will not adhere to that.
Numbers are never going to get to a point where people can agree that it's safe enough to reopen. Whether it's this week, the end of May, September... And not everyone is going to take a vaccine. Just do what you want to do. Practice good hygiene and stay out of folks bubbles.
Theatres? Holy f. Good luck with that

Breaking News CNN admits its part in overthrow of government & its protection of the 1%.
Actually I would like to go to a movie Do I need to ask China for admission? Are they going to create and then spread another disease as soon as we beat this one?
Party time!!
I'm wondering.... Is the mall going to have a person using a clicker counter to monitor the number of people who can enter into the mall and into each store at one time? Who will be keeping track of the 25%?
Is this a Democratic or Republican Governor? Hmmmm... let me guess..
JudgeClayJ thank you for trying to save lives and not making this about politics. clayjenkinsforpresident
GovAbbott, like Trump, is not very bright.
Determination of re-opening？
Call it professional malformation, but given the propensity for Americans to sue at the drop of a hat, and given the tendency of the judicial system to award damages in the gabillions of dollars. if I was an employer, I'd have my staff sign waivers. Ditto for service providers.🇨🇦
Be careful

It seems that Doctors, Nurses, Health Administrators are not saying anything to the authorities.
2 hrs ago-- US has broken one million cases
Stay home then, like me 😎
Fuck Clay Jenkins
Reopening 👍🇱🇷👍 Don’t Choose Forget ☝️Straightaway 😭🇱🇷☝️
Now do Colorado...
The studios aren't releasing movies right now. Can you imagine the optics of 'thousands of new coronavirus cases linked to the release of Wonder Woman. StayHomeSaveLives keepgaclosed keeptxclosed
I’m staying home, people in Texas don’t care. I go in and out the supermarket and people take their children without any protection, babies need to stay home.
эНадеюсь,что то правда
Trying to get the second wave to begin hoping for a cure pre Christmas
I’m pretty excited for Greyhound this summer so I wouldn’t mind theaters opening. Just for me. Only let me in.
Are there any new movies even out. The news from Hollywood is that they wrote 2020 off already.
Yep, because I can.
For those of us who work for a living it is nice to be able to go make money ourselves. You haven’t stopped making money why should we be forced to?
A lot of studios are releasing their movies for sale a lot quicker now. People just need to take it easy.
Too Soon!!!
And then there’s ohio 😞💔 F U GovMikeDeWine
All the deaths that result are on his hands.
GOOD for my Governor. Next week should go to 50% & continue each week after that until 100%! ReopenTexas
What they aren't reporting is that this new guideline lumps all retail together, so grocery stores have to drop to 25% capacity. So, bye bye to all the new essential jobs.
Nothing says 'Reopen for Big Bidness' like a staged press conference in one of the micro hubs of the Texas economy. Very convincing subliminals. No mask, no gloves, no Lysol. Peak stupidity.
Finally!
Ridiculous! It's a death sentence
Good luck Texas. Please stay out of our hospitals.
Step Right Up You Lemmings! Claire’s is calling you for their cheap China made crap. Try on some clothes at Macy’s, that a non symptomatic COVID19 patient tried on minutes before . Then go home to your 10 year old and hubby who don’t like malls and didn’t go. Watch what happens.
Dude can walk. Hope everyone knows this little tidbit..😉
All these 'smart'leaders should lead by example and go work at their regional hospitals to volunteer their time snd give all the 1st redponders a little break; HOW MANY will actually even step out of their offices or their houses to help; anybody want to lead by example, anyone !
GregAbbott_TX How do you enforce/govern these rules? Nobody is going to follow the 25% rule, unless forced.
25% ?!?! Only? What business can operate profitably at that capacity? This is all a trick to make ppl feel good/better and not need to pay as much unemployment from the state and federal end. StayWoke
Therefore using TX citizens as gunieau pigs. Best of luck TX!
Stupidity abounds in tax
I wonder if he bought stock in caskets and body bags?
This Dallas resident will be staying safe at home.
Dumb, it only takes 1 person to infect everyone inside the building.
“There are more important things than living “. Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, TX.
He is prioritizing the wealth of his big donors over the lives of texans... don’t forget this in 2022 VoteThemAllOut
They make them dumber in Texas too.
REQUIRE that people wear masks inside stores, businesses, libraries, etc.!
GovAbbott You are choosing the economy/your donors over the life and health of ALL Texans. You’re a disgrace! I’m scared for my family and my health/life so you can please your donors and reopen TX too quickly. TX Texas Abbott DontReopen
Get your hospital beds ready.
If you're Pro Choice for fetuses, you should also be Pro Choice for quarantines & guns. If you're Pro Life for babies, you should also be Pro Life for pandemics & mass shootings.
As a Texan this is a huge mistake. In 10 days there will be a lot of sick people.
He needs to sign the death certificates!! He will be the cause of death!!
Yes. New York New Jersey pandemic. Most of America is not in a major crisis like those 2
rich people need to pay their mortgages on their fifth home. Meanwhile, across America, people are waiting in line for food and trump still doesn't have a plan so he lies about testing and allows a bunch of rich men in suits tell us how wonderful they are
Tremendous mayor of Austin!! Will make a fine Governor you heard it here first!
So the great experiment begins? Will the state have test kits available for the state?
Crazy stupid
Texas is home to more than 5 million people without health insurance.
Absolute stupidity - Republican no-minds will be the death of many Americans

Why get tested when you'll be sent home or its misread, 'stand up & be counted for what you are about to recieve', acdc

Thank you !
So Happy to be a TEXAN!!
This move is not going to end well. Especially in light of the fact that Texas' testing is among the worst in the country and places like Dallas/ Ft. Worth, Lubbock, and El Paso are nowhere near seeing the plateau. I'll wager that medical professionals are absolutely shocked.
My nephew arm pumping at the news from the Texas Gov....
it's either safe or it is not. Sounds like Walmart counting how many people come in the door.
upset that not enough economic destruction is done
COVID-19: Thank you Texas for giving me the opportunity to work my magic. Truly appreciated!
Yikes
Thank goodness-time for all states to reopen!!!
Gov Abbott actually said that Dr. Birx approved of his re open plan. Dr. Birx!?! He had the audacity to say his executive order to not mandate wearing masks overrides local municipalities - Dallas county mandates masks currently, so this fool...smh. Texas COVID19
25% capacity, won't save anyone's failing small business, nor help any financially struggling families. Sure as shit will help corporations however.
In less than 3 weeks Greg Abbott will shutdown Texas again. Where are the tests Greg? GregAbbott_TX Texas
25% capacity restaurants will be bankrupt in two months.
I am a Hairdresser. I have being home for 5 weeks .. I can not go to work that I am safe and I know all my clients But I can go to the mall were I dont know any of them and dont know where they have been....and you expect me to keep calm ....Fuck U Governor Abbott
Good, you can still stay home waiting for a vaccine in 2 years.
I live here in Dallas area and F all that nonsense. I'm staying in and away from fools. This country still has waaaaaay more active cases than recoveries. Seems stupid to think opening things up now is a good idea.
Good luck Texas.
On the way
I'm not ready for all that yet. I just want to grab my library materials and zoom back home.
Somebody sneezes and everybody surges away. Lol
For those NOT from Texas, worry about your own state and not ours. If you are from Texas and don’t agree, then stay the F**k home. Very simple
This is selfish and purely political. The decision to allow businesses to reopen when TX has one of the lowest testing rates in the country is irresponsible. It’s a slap in the face to all healthcare workers. txlege
lol Good luck with that! There are armed idiots storm trooping across the US already. Does TX think it will keep these idiots from storming past 25% to get a beer and some chewy tobaccy? Pandemic, thy name is lunacy!
Texas is the new New York
Eu não sou robô joicehasselmann estou assistido PEPA e to FechadoComBolsonaro pergunta para ela do Marido!
We are so fucked
would love to see abbott getting a haircut followed by a meal at a restaurant and a movie at a theater. lead by example pls.
One day ago, total new cases/day dropped for the first time in Texas. Every expert is recommending 14 straight days of decline before any loosening of measures. What on Earth is Texas thinking?
YES!!!!! That is why I vote Republican...the man has a set and he isn't afraid to use it...
That is a naw from me dog.
omg
I hope they already took more test. Than just essential workers? If not their in for a rude awakening. I am sure there many people who are positive, that have not taken the test. Too soon.
And here comes the resurgance...
GovRonDeSantis do FL next
Breaking news... two more people attest to Tara reade’s sexual assault accusations against Biden. Where’s Your headlines. Shame on you. Will have to watch fox for updates.
Who the fuck wants to go to a movie theatre right now? Show of hands?
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES 🤡
Sounds like a mistake to me but hey who am I?
Good job Texas 🤘🏼 God speed 🙏🏼
Just don’t understand, we’re trying to slow the virus down in order to get a vaccine, and people think we’re taking a right away from them!
If the cost of life escalates we know who will be at fault! It’s okay to work make a LiViN but first get tested if they test positive they will be force to get treatment. For those who will work to serve the public also need to wear protection for everyone’s protection!!!
God bless him.. free America
Why is there no followup to Trump's insane claim of cklist items? Don’t we have dozens of requirements to satisfy before reopening any state? What has been accomplished, that we can stamp “DONE”? Where? By what state(s)? What has TX accomplished to satisfy requirements? Sheesh!
We need more TESTING. Get on the phone with South Korea and get the tests!!!
Is rent going to be at 25% too?
Goodbye Texas.
Yeah good luck with that, Greg!
Good
To die one person is sad, to die ten thousand people is statistics, to die ten thousand people is to do well in our work. ----Donald trump
Guess the President should just re-do his guidelines to....I don't give a fuck, ya'll do what you want!
Theaters? Must b nuts
Because
Oh wow!
I live in Dallas and this guy is a baffoon. Zero science has been cited for this decision. There is still NO meaningful testing in the state. Many people still cannot get tested! Idiot Republican governors, following their imbecile president. 🙄
Homicidal prick
To GovAbbott from a Texan. You want us all to die.
Thank you Governor for being a REAL PATRIOT unlike the far-left communists in the West Coast!!!! AMERICA runs on WORK and not handouts and laziness! We should all be proud to WORK!!! Your boss realDonaldTrump would be proud! FREEDOM! 🇱🇷
Have fun complaining, while we actually try to implement the plans that were always in place to responsibly reopen.
Just stupid
Some people until now doesn't understand that there is no treatment for this virus before at least 1 year and that there is no way any country will keep lockdown after end of May.
Thank God, I have no reason to go to Texas, Florida or Georgia, those states are going to be COVID-19 central.
Ranked 49th in testing. I feel really safe.....
The governor could sell Texas caskets made in America by Billionaires, Inc
“The theatres stay open Martin”
oy vey, bottom lines for business ceo's before lives of customers and workers! the new american way!
Oh boy hope you know what your doing!
Conservatives when they get sick after resisting Stay-At-Home orders
Are you ready for the 2nd wave of coronavirus Gov. Abbott?
