'If a business asks an individual to wear the mask and they refuse to leave, they can be arrested for criminal trespass,' Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said.

Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo, who delivered a strong message to Texans who refuse to comply with private businesses' policies on wearing masks, said that business property rights in the Lone Star State give them the tools to keep the peace.

"Our officers are well-versed on the laws, there's something called 'criminal trespass' here in the state of Texas, and if a business asks an individual to wear the mask and they refuse to leave, they can be arrested for criminal trespass," said Acevedo. The chief said they can also issue someone a criminal trespass warning, which would prohibit them from entering the establishment for at least a year.Acevedo said that Texas businesses have property rights and some will choose to "follow science and require masks," regardless of the expiration of the statewide mask order on March 10.

Recipe for a lawsuit.

Sure - assuming you go to businesses that require masks still and make an ass of yourself by disrespecting their private property rights. This doesn’t have to be anything it isn’t. Texans will continue to lead their lives responsibly - mask or no mask.

But China 🇨🇳 can hack at will? All y’all are fd up traitors AmericaFirst

Who is going to enforce it?

Police officers take an oath to uphold the Constitution, state laws, rules and regulations not any company or business policy particularly one, that in this case, is in opposition to a state mandate. This chief is opening up the department to potential and unnecessary lawsuits.

Guys we just need to flatten the curve 6 more years that’s it

Business owners have a right to not let people enter their business if they're not masked.

this just proves how effective and successful the ɑdɱiɳistrɑtion of DⲟⲛаLD J Τꭱบмр truly is 🎯 Desantis leads the way of Patriot's

It's funny how these anti-maskers are like, If you're afraid of getting sick, well than just stay home. But when these anti-maskers are asked to put on a mask before entering a business, these anti-maskers start tripping out & getting violent...

Good! Anyone ignorant enough to not WearAMask after over 500k deaths from COVID19 is probably safer in prison. 😉

Nice clickbait title. They can be arrested for trespassing if a business asks you to leave and you refuse.

LMAO no

Too many people struggle with this

good luck
