While some Texas businesses have relaxed their rules a bit, others continue requiring masks and restricting the occupancy of their dining rooms.

For about a year, Texas businesses have done whatever they could to stay afloat. As Covid-19 ravaged the state and the country, they pivoted to takeout service, operated their dining rooms at reduced capacities and required masks for their employees and their customers, all according to state rules.

Last week they were finally given the chance to return to normal, after the governor issued an executive order lifting the state's mask mandate and allowing businesses to reopen at 100% capacity. But their approaches vary: While some have relaxed their rules a bit, others chose to continue requiring masks and restricted the occupancy of their dining rooms.

'This is a burden': Austin business leader on lifting restrictions 02:23Blaque said that decision was mainly for the safety of her employees. She didn't want to put them in a position where they might have to enforce masks with customers who weren't cooperative. "I'm a minority, so 2020 was not the easiest for Black restaurants," she said."It was not just the pandemic happening, but other things affecting our business.

Sounds like the people are smarter then the government.

That’s because listening to their incompetent Governor is only going to get them killed.

Rules and restrictions, laws even, we're put into place to apply force to business owners to confirm. Forceful patronage is going to be required to bring some business owners back to the normal world.

you mean there are smart businesses and some smart people in Texas could not see it with their leaders and most of the people

And the Texan surge will begin in a few weeks. Has this governor learned anything yet as he already tried this script.

Time will tell if everything really is “Sicker in Texas” Texas texasgov

Thank you for your work mr abott

Rednecks loves the freedumb.

Everywhere I have gone I see almost every single person continuing to wear a mask. The governor has chosen to endanger all Texans. Texas said 'Thanks but no thanks!'
