Operative words
The following information does not allow a business to circumvent the requirements in Executive Order GA-28 or any subsequent executive order. Any establishment that is opened as a restaurant must follow the checklist from the Governor's Strike Force to Open Texas.
Enforcement
GA-28 enforcement (Tex. Gov't Code § 418.173) and TABC permit suspension
Notes
Bars could reopen only by changing their business (51 percent affidavit or FB certificate) to qualify as restaurants at 50 percent capacity.
