Two points. In Texas, the Governor's order provides for the threat of an individual fine, not the business owner, but it absolutely prevents enforcement by denying any authority for local officials to detain or arrest, and therefore demand ID. No detention, no ID, means no fine. One thing his order did was to supersede local orders. So, it's not clear if the county and city orders are backed with any power to fine anyone.

Two, what difference does it make? These county officials and now this idiot dictator Abbott, all in cahoots with the panic porn fake news media, have already done their damage. Even if you take away the face mask orders altogether, I think this has now got widespread support. With the cancel culture, and public shaming, this isn't going away anytime soon. Which businesses, in this environment, are going to be the first to lift their FM ban?

I'm sorry to hear that Jim. This whole thing is just despicable.
