Operative words
We conclude that the Disaster Act empowers the Governor to [prohibit local mask mandates]... As explained in part III.D.2, supra, we conclude that section 418.018(c) [authorizes GA-38]... The judgment of the court of appeals is reversed, the temporary injunction is dissolved, and the case is remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. [Footnote 18:] In the related litigation from San Antonio, the court of appeals issued [an order reinstating the injunction], Abbott v. City of San Antonio, No. 04-21-00342-CV (Tex. App.-San Antonio Aug. 19, 2021) (order). We reversed that action. In re Abbott, No. 21-0720 (Tex. Aug. 26, 2021) (order). None of the injunctions against GA-38 has been [enforceable].
