This was brought up at my work, and I noticed that we are exempt, although I was the only one that caught it. I can't speak to the Dallas county version, as I have not read the full text. However, the Tarrant county EO specifically says that it applies to businesses which provide goods or services directly to the public. My work does not, as we are a manufacturing facility. Ergo, we are not required to wear masks at all times.

I don't remember where you work, so this may or may not affect you, but I thought I would mention it.

I work at an IdentoGO location, digitally fingerprinting people all day long.

I've railed for years that banks have been made into the enforcement arm of the Federal government. Lot's like we're fixin' to do the same with local merchants regarding the county and city governments. Once this "ice" has been broken, it will never freeze up again.

That ice was broken a long time ago. We are supposed to exclude any customer not wearing a mask from entry now.

I think that whichever part of the Texas constitution that gives county judges the power to issue county-wide executive orders without the involvement the voters or county supervisors was probably a huge mistake. ONE man gets to tell the 2,057,470 residents of Tarrant County what they may or may not do....for however long he wants them to do/not do it.
