The executive order explicitly defines which are essential services and those now considered "reopened services." I'm struggling with the formatting when I copy/paste the text from the PDF, so here's a screenshot:mavsfan4ever said:
Other than retail, movie theaters, etc, the Governor's Order did not specifically address if non-essential businesses and office buildings were able to open back up. So Clay Jenkins may argue that non-essential businesses must still cease all operations.

Wonder if Denton will follow suit.
Masks might interfere with the cut since the straps go behind the ear or head. A small nit, yes. And I'm first in line when they reopen.Bingo Bango Bongo said:
Require both barber and client to wear a mask. Limit number of people that can be in the waiting area and require mask. Making them remain closed is moronic.

This is a very convincing argument to disprove the allegation of being an internet tough guy.TexasAggie008 said:

Maybe? It seems to me that the state EO is still prohibiting non-essential businesses from opening regardless of what Dallas County says.
Not sure about "formal guidance" but County judge neighbor had a big shindig again this past weekend so you should be good to go.TexasAggie008 said:
What is the formal guidance on, say, having people over to one's house beginning may 1?

It almost feels like they want ppl to have the uncertainty and just open or go above the 25% rule. If everything gets bad then they can say that ppl should have listened and if it goes as hoped then they can say "let's move to phase 2 and have those still waiting open".
What's the point? There aren't any new movies being released.hatchback said:
Just heard on nbc5 news that Cinemark and Alamo Drafthouse announced that their theaters, statewide, will not open until at least July 1.
I understand Cinemark and UA not opening until there's actually new releases out but I would kind of expect Alamo to open and run something like a soft opening or maybe a Victory members-only 80s or 90s night where they can test new seating arrangements, serving standards, menus, etc. I could see a high demand for in theater movies these next two months with schools closed and summer camps canceled.hatchback said:

No. It allows the shelter in place requirements to expire but maintains restrictions on which businesses are deemed essential. It does expand that list allowing a piece (albeit small) of Texas to reopen.mavsfan4ever said:
Actually, the new order allows the old state executive order shutting down non-essential businesses to expire as of May 1st, correct?
It seems like the main objective was to lay groundwork to deny unemployment to restaurant workers.Fitch said:
Yesterday's EO includes continued social distancing and minimizing contact except as needed to access essential and reopened businesses specifically listed. So it would appear to extend the timetable.
Really could have been clarified much better.
i don't understand what you're trying to communicate. are you saying they should remain closed? isn't the net effect that the businesses further risk closing up for good thereby leaving all parties involved out of work?culdeus said:It seems like the main objective was to lay groundwork to deny unemployment to restaurant workers.Fitch said:

Other than that nothing substantial will change on May 1st except the state expects restaurants to operate at a loss so people can stuff their face with enchiladas while having a bad haircut.
