The areas of Texas that were making it a requirement to wear masks or get up to a $1000 fine will have those orders get superseded by the Governor after April 30th. It makes me wonder if the requirement of wearing a mask in Texas state parks goes away after April 30th?

you would think so but who knows. In Dallas they will still try to enforce it.

Yep. He was asked in the press conference after specifically about masks. He said they recommended wearing them but there would not be a fine if we didn’t.

Buda13 and the gamewarden were the only ones wearing a mask Saturday at Ray Roberts when we left.

I wore mine the entire time...many others didn't. Not taking this lightly by any means. Hell, I wear my sun gaiter 90% of time on the water as it is.

I just got a few day passes for May thru Austin TPWD. They told me to wear a mask until I unloaded the boat then I could remove it.

Governor Abbott specifically addressed the masks and said it's a recommendation, it's not mediatory to wear a face covering and it's falls on each individual's decision.

He also said his orders override any local orders and there will not be any fines levied or any punishment issued for not wearing a face covering.

The tone in his voice kind of sounded like he just slapped the liberal urban leaders across their faces with his sack grin

Wear a buff for “sun protection”, then you can be Covid compliant and look cool.
