It was nearly a month ago that Governor Greg Abbott made the big announcement. Texas was going to re-open to 100%, and the state mask mandate was lifted.
To say the criticism was harsh would be an understatement. It was supposed to be the beginning of the end.
But here we are a month later, and not only has Texas -not- had another surge or spike. The Covid numbers have been plummeting across the board. Weekly and daily.
And yet for some reason, Harris County remains at code red, even though California this week dropped down to code orange.

It's a question that only Judge Lina Hidalgo can answer, and unfortunately she's not talking. KTRH has reached out to the Judge and her office multiple times, but she refuses to comment.
This leads to our poll question.
