The Texas Supreme Court on Jan. 1 ruled to halt enforcement of two orders—one in Austin and the other in Travis County—that sought to impose a weekend curfew on dine-in services.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton petitioned the high court for an order blocking the City of Austin and Travis County from enforcing local orders that would prohibit bars, restaurants, and other venues from offering dine-in food and beverage services between 10:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. on Jan. 1 through Jan. 3.
