This is true and it can easily be brushed off by saying that there are a "ton of exceptions." Fuck. That. He just blasted the door wide open to excessive government overreach - our government is literally trying to make health decisions for you. Now is the time to be furious, not looking for exceptions.
But some of the cities like Round Rock, Austin and Georgetown have passed local ordinances which allows the cops to enforce it criminally and they said they would.
An attorney in Houston is already filing a lawsuit over it. I hope he wins and I would imagine that even Abbott would be ok with losing it. By having his orders overturned, he can still claim he did something. Then he can just sit back and let the state go back to life as usual with a roaring economy. The media and all the Karens can’t push him down that road anymore because the judiciary made its ruling. Game over.
I pray that you are right. Still extremely scary that a governor who seemed based two months ago would cower before the mob like he has. Our district rep in San Antonio did the same thing. It's happening all over the state - Republican officials are giving in sooo easily.

Noted. I'm still pissed because what the hell is going on here in Texas?? Great suggestion though - I will follow your lead.
Just walk away. The order says they can't detain you.

That's exactly we've done here. Our LEOs are ignoring it too.
