A Travis County district judge has sided with the City of Austin to keep the New Year holiday restrictions on dine-in services at Austin-Travis County bars and restaurants.
The Attorney General's Office says they will appeal the ruling.
KHOU reported that District Judge Amy Clark Meachum denied the requests for temporary restraining order and temporary injunction filed by the State of Texas, saying "the State has not demonstrated a probable right to the relief sought nor imminent and irreparable harm."
To Texas restaurants. A formal statement. “The Governor’s statewide executive order allows food establishments to be open for in-person dining on New Years Eve as authorized by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. They should remain open. Happy New Year!” Cheers!"
Anecdotally, the order itself seemed to be met with mass disobedience in Austin. An Uber driver posted a message to Facebook New Year's Day, noting that he was driving until 2:30 in the morning New Year's Eve.
"Drove Uber til 2:30 AM. Austin was hopping last night! Nothing seemed to be closed after 10:30. Lots of ppl are livid with Adler (aka, Cabo San Doofus😂)....even the libs."
