Anyone heard of boat ramps or launches being closed in Freeport or Galveston?

thinking the same thing. if i don't come in contact with anyone else while fishing, i can't spread the virus.

Check your shelter in place order and those for places you would drive through and launch from.
In the DFW area they allow outside exercise while practicing social distancing.

Galveston Cnty Residents may only leave their homes to seek medical care, pick up essential items such as food-for humans or pets-or household supplies, "Participate in SOLITARY OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES or to work at an essential business. All short term rental folks are to leave the island. Piers and game rooms will be closed.

Is it too much to ask for an answer of “yes the boat ramps are open” or “no they are closed” before I drive an hour down there with my boat?

YES they are open. Solitary fishing is permitted.
