Operative words
The order allows bars to reopen at 50% capacity in Texas counties that both opt in to reopen bars and meet the state requirements related to local COVID-19 hospitalization rates and case counts. County judges in eligible counties must submit a form to TABC attesting their county's status before bars may reopen.... 80 Texas counties have met the requirements for bars to reopen.
Enforcement
TABC and local officials check compliance; 'Since June, TABC agents have conducted more than 17,000 inspections'
Notes
Bars in the 174 non-qualifying counties remained closed on October 14, 2020.
