[KBTX [4]] Gov. Greg Abbott told KBTX the following: “What my executive order does is currently, through April 30, there is a stay-at-home policy. That stay at-home-policy is being lifted. As a result, after April 30, there should be no mandate that people stay at home at any particular time, whether it be a curfew or otherwise.”
Now, the judges are responding to the state’s advisement.
Milam County Judge Steve Young said Friday that they believe they have the authority to enforce a curfew to try to keep people safe.
Madison County Judge Tony Leago said his intention was never related to the COVID-19 pandemic. He says his goal is to reduce crime, like recent catalytic converter thefts that have been reported in the area. He said there have been problems with crime late at night.
“That’s been unbelievably misunderstood,” said Leago. “I can’t really completely grasp it, but first off the curfew had nothing to do with the coronavirus. It was not put in place to lessen the impact of that. I don’t know how that started. It had everything to do–it had wholly and completely, a law enforcement component.”
