A judge ruled in favor Tuesday of Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins after he filed a temporary restraining order against Gov. Greg Abbott’s mask mandate ban.

Temporary restraining order allows San Antonio, Bexar County to impose mask mandates
San Antonio leaders scored a victory in court against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday in the ongoing fight over mask mandates.
A Bexar County Civil District Court Judge granted the city and Bexar County’s request for a temporary restraining order against Abbott’s executive order banning mask mandates in schools.

It is important that we remove power from those causing harm. More importantly, we must call out Red State governors that are causing harm, that are maiming, that are killing many Americans with their ill-advised failed ideological edicts.
