Here is Abbott’s response:
Gov. Greg Abbott is not budging on his hands-off approach. Last Tuesday while in an interview with Ware & Rima – a conservative radio talk show on KTSA-AM – Abbott said he was not reconsidering his ban on mask requirements, as reported by The Dallas Morning News.

As other states, like California, reinstated mask mandates, Texas has Abbott advocating for a fourth special legislative session to outlaw vaccine mandates and prioritizing other issues, like border security.
Abbott’s stance was established in March when he ended the statewide mask mandate and began preaching “personal responsibility” and an outright rejection of any government mandate.
