If you're going to enforce a policy, then make sure a security guard is at the door to enforce it so she can't get in in the first place. But there's another thing you're missing ... she's in Texas, where the Governor just lifted all mask mandates. You can't force people to wear a mask in a public domain where masks aren't enforced by government.

Requiring a security guard to enforce private property policy may be useful, but it's not required under any semblance of the law. The Texas Governor lifted the mask mandates required by the state, that does not do anything to regulate the rules of conduct with private property. If I own a business, and one of the conditions I impose on you during your patronage is to wear a mask for health and safety reasons, I generally have that right, and the right to enforce that policy by demanding that you comply or leave. If you refuse to comply and refuse to leave, as this woman did, I have the right to enlist the assistance of the police. At that point, you are trespassing. I don't have to like or agree with this mask bullshit to support private property rights...they're the cornerstone of liberty. This woman was fine right up until she refused to comply with the officer's requests that would have gotten her out of trouble for trespassing. Instead, she acted like an idiot, fucked around, found out, and made anti-maskers look like retards. That's not good.

A dress code is one thing, but it's another thing to force someone to wear a medical device in order to be provided service. I'm not a lawyer, as you seem to be, but they're a few different arguments to make as to why she has rights in this situation. Being tackled to the ground for not wearing a mask, does not appear to be the cornerstone of liberty.

I am not a lawyer, but she was not tackled to the ground for not wearing a mask. She was tackled to the ground for resisting detainment/arrest after refusing lawful instructions pursuant to the act of trespassing in the presence of a law enforcement officer.
