New Dallas County Executive Order

On August 11, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins issued an Emergency Executive Order requiring faces coverings in certain public places including schools, businesses, and Dallas County buildings and facilities. The order also strongly urges face coverings in public indoor spaces. The new order will officially take effect at 11:59 p.m. on August 11, 2021.  It applies to both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, however, no civil or criminal penalty will be imposed on individuals for failure to wear a face mask. 

The Order comes after a Dallas district judge issued a temporary restraining order late Tuesday that restricts the enforcement of Governor Greg Abbott’s ban on mask mandates. This order does not impact any Town of Addison building or facilities.
