The state’s high court rejected Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s efforts to block temporary restraining orders issued by Travis County Judge Jan Soifer. Parents in Travis County, home to Austin, with children under the age of 12, who are not eligible to receive coronavirus vaccinations, filed the orders, saying the Republican governor’s ban on mask mandates was a threat to public health. Soifer barred enforcement of Abbott’s ban, clearing the way for mask requirements in Harris County and eight school districts.
