In July 2021, the Governor issued executive order GA-38, which prohibited local officials from requiring masks... The district court issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting enforcement of GA-38, which this Court stayed. In re Abbott, No. 21-0686 (Tex. Aug. 15, 2021) (order). The district court then temporarily enjoined the Governor and others from enforcing GA-38 to the extent that such enforcement would interfere with Judge Jenkins\u0027 authority to require masks in Dallas County.
