Republican Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has just announced that his state will be immediately ending its mask mandate as well as eliminating all limits on indoor dining, declaring that ‘It is now time to open Texas 100%.’
This will make Texas the first major state to officially fully reopen after closing down due to the Coronavirus.
As The Daily Wire reports:
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, announced on Tuesday afternoon that he is signing an executive order that will lift the state’s mandatory mask mandate and will do away with limits on the number of people that businesses can serve indoors effective next week.
“Too many Texans have been sidelined from employment opportunities,” Abbott said. “Too many small business owners have struggled to pay their bills. This must end. It is now time to open Texas 100%.”
UPDATE: Mississippi has now also joined in with Texas in lifting all Coronavirus restrictions
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves also says he's rescinding county mask mandates and allowing businesses to reopen at full capacity

About time is all I can say other than thank you governor for returning to common sense life in Texas. .

Better late than never!! 👍
Thanks to Governor Abbott
So glad that I live in Tx republican State

Hopefully the rest of the states tell Farcey to stick it and follow suit!
Great job, Texas! Show us the way! You have always been big and stro g, keep up the legacy, and show Inslee how to follow suit.Amen
Ooh, can somebody please zap me to Texas right now?? Well done, finally a step in the right direction
You stayed in the game longer than you should have. You used to be one of my favorites until Covid. You let the other side control you.

That’s not nice. A lot of.push and shoving in it I sure would not like his title. Now with more head ones are getting more behind them it is easier to tell those Washington hi lights where to go. Its a beginning and hope others follow.
Three States have been in the lead fighting totalitarianism, South Dakota, Florida and Texas! Governor Abbott is the first to fully open his State with no restrictions or mask mandates, at least to my knowledge! I’m a Florida resident with one hell of a great Governor, Ron DeSantis, who has left mask mandates to our cities Mayor’s. Christi Noam, Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis, are our countries greatest Governor’s! They still believe Americans have a choice, wear a mask if you wish, as an American, you can make a decission that you make on your own, that best fits your beliefs and feelings, not a decission made by some government dictator, such as in EVERY blue state in this once totally free country as is guaranteed by our sacred Constitution! A document the socialist leftist democrats despise! And look what those socialist totalitarian leftists have done to this once great country! Barack Insane Obama’s goal to”Fundamentally transform America” seems to have succeeded, though temporarily interrupted by a true American Patriot, Donald J Trump, who through obvious and insidious corruption, was denied a second term, as he was on his way to return America to the great country it once was. “The Great Reset” and “New World Order” were put on hold for the four years President Trump held the office of President. Now an incompetent old fool is doing all in his tyrannical power to destroy everything President Trump strived for, and that was simply to Make America Great Again!
It’s about time. Let the people decide how they want to live. If they are still scared of being in public around others they can get their vaccines and wear their masks and keep their distance.
Wish he was our governor instead of the loser we have, Phil Murphy.
i am 87. I want to register to schedule a covid 19 vqcinne. Technology is difficult for me.I am very happy that my ill and disabled daughter received her vacinne at her assisted living facility. However, neither my doctor nor ny pharmacy has any cvacinne for me. Help, help,help!!
Hi Bobbie, where are you? Let me know and will see how to register in a place close to your home. My email is [email protected]
Bobbie, my advice is to STAY AWAY from the COVID vaccines. Despite what the “authorities” want you to believe, they (the vaccines) have not been proven safe and in fact there have already been quite a few people injured by the COVID vaccines. Look it up.
There are many good treatments for COVID. An unproven and unsafe vaccine is not necessary. Two of the best treatments are: 1. ivermectin, and 2. hydroxychloroquine (with zinc added to it, that is important to know). In regards to hydroxychloroquine, don’t listen to anyone who tries to tell you it is dangerous. It is very safe if taken in proper doses. I have done a lot of research on these 2 drugs and I would take either of them if I got sick with COVID. In fact, ask your doctor if you can take ivermectin as a preventative measure to COVID.
Totally agree. These gene therapies are not yet approved vaccines by the FDA -only given as emergency use. There are many problems with these shots that are not being recorded. Check out COVID VACINE REACTIONS- Reporting by Vaers (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System). This is a self-reporting system, so many that do not know of this system will miss the opportunity to record them, hence many reactions will go unrecorded.
Thank you Abbott !!! For taking a stand for our GREAT TEXAS !! Freedom – is worth the fight
Now tell the hospitals to stop giving the virus to people they screen.
Good for those conservative real American states. Sure Colorado will be one of the last to open up. Too many socialist demorats.
Common sense in a true fashion.
Sorry, I feel it is too soon to open Texas up until we see the numbers lower and more individuals receive their vaccine. It will not matter if businesses reopen if there is not enough population to buy their goods.
Forget the vaccine. It is dangerous. Do your research.
Everybody is moving to Florida, and I understand why. Here in Florida, you can have a normal life, with some precautions, of course.
Yeah thank you Gov. Abbott
I left Texas in 2017. Should have never done that. Love the common sense of Governor Abbott, Lieutenant Governor, Dan Patrick and A/G Dan Paxton. Love Texas!
Thank God people are waking up to what’s going on. Gov. Abbott did the correct thing. From What I have seem, this whole CoVid nonsense is a big scam, among other sinister items, as well.
That is fantastic, happy for you Texas and Mississippi.
Praise The Lord! And thank you governor Abbott way to go! Am so sick of these masks and so happy for our small business as well the churches have no excuse not to open up. Grateful I live where people follow the science and use common sense.
Wish it would happen in Nevada this is all about control the mask has never been for me. I don’t wear one I refuse this is my right not the right of this corrupt government. My freedoms come from GOD ALMIGHTY not these pathetic idiots who think they own us. Would like to be able to see people again and not have them fear from this huge lie. Time to live the life GOD gave us all and enjoy our freedoms. My best guess is don’t watch any of the news they have divided our country and now we must take it back from them don’t believe their lies. Just remember to get out and vote in 2022 get rid of these evil corrupt politicians once and for all. GOD bless America and keep We The People safe
Thank God , good ole Texas and my birth state are leading the country out of purgatory!
IT is high time for the tyrants of BLUE states to follow suit and save their economies, their citizens and their children.
Finally a governor who is giving freedom back to the people of his state! Let the people decide how they want to protect themselves.
About Bloody time for one of our ‘leaders’ to recognize the lunacy of the liberal control PLANDEMIC
Hooray apply nationwide, Bravo
The repeal of the mask mandate in Texas is going going to result in widespread sickness and death worse than people have ever seen before.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Nooooooooo!
/sarc
About time.
