New: @SylvesterTurner says Houston officials will start issuing citations to people who fail to comply with the state& #39;s mandatory mask order. First offense = warning, followed by a citation and $250 fine. #COVID19 #txlege
Turner: "For months, we have been focusing on education and not citations, but now I am instructing the Houston Police Department to issue the necessary warnings and citations to anyone not wearing a mask in public if they do not meet the criteria for an exemption.”
Turner was lauded by some who opposed @LinaHidalgoTX& #39;s mask order when he said HPD would not issue fines for that initial order > https://twitter.com/JoeGamaldi/status/1253688205322457088">https://twitter.com/JoeGamald...
