State troopers started stopping and screening travelers entering Texas from Louisiana on Sunday.
Checkpoints have been set up on all roadways entering the Lone Star State from Louisiana.
The screenings are related to the COVID-19 pandemic and motorists are urged to exercise caution.
Commercial motor vehicle traffic will be moved into one lane and will not be stopped, but these checkpoints are slowing down traffic considerably.
Governor Greg Abbott issued the order last week, but this is the first time the checkpoints have been set up.

What are they checking for if they aren't stopping anyone?
They aren't stopping commercial vehicles. The rest, I think, are being stopped.
I wish fuehrer Wolf of PA would stopped traffic from NJ and NY before sending the National fucking Guard to enforce his bullshit curfew.
Hopefully they're checking to see if the car is filled with democrats fleeing Cali and WA, and they are turning them back.
