Gov. Greg Abbott has directed the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Texas Historical Commission to close all state parks and historic sites as part of the state’s efforts to strengthen social distancing practices and prevent gatherings of large groups of people. The new order is effective at 5 p.m. today.
“Social distancing is our best tool to curb the spread of COVID-19 and save lives,” said Abbott. “The temporary closure of our state parks and historic sites will help us achieve this goal by preventing the gathering of large groups of people. I urge all Texans to continue to stay at home, except for essential services as we respond to COVID-19. By following these social distance practices, we will overcome this challenge together.”
