Texas Enters Phase 3

(Austin, TX) — Phase 3 of Gov. Greg Abbott’s plan to reopen the Texas economy is underway.

On Wednesday, Abbott gave the go-ahead for most businesses to increase their operating capacity from 25% to 50%. The governor’s latest executive order includes bars, which are allowed to operate at 50% capacity as long as the patrons are seated.

Restaurants can increase maximum seating from six to ten people per table, and starting a week from tomorrow, they can operate at 75% capacity.
