A district court judge in Texas on Friday refused to grant the state’s attorney general a restraining order that would force Austin and Travis County to discontinue enforcing their mask mandates, according to officials and reports.
Travis County district court judge Lora Livingston, during a Friday hearing, decided to set a March 26 trial on the matter, effectively allowing Austin to continue enforcing mask-wearing for at least another two weeks, according to the Austin-American Statesman.
