I hope I filled this out with the proper information. This Mayoral Request form was not created to request permission to
have a family picnic outing of more than 10 people, but I hopefully did my best. If you don't mind, can you share with me
the information on who the proper persons are that would allow someone to stay at the park for a couple more hours
past the 10:00 o'clock requirement? And how much that permit would be? If you need anymore information from me
please Email me back. Thank you for your guidance and direction in this matter. Christopher Helm

BY THE
GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF TEXAS
Executive Department
Austin, Texas
October 7, 2020
EXECUTIVE ORDER
GA 32
Relating to the continued response to the COVID-l9 disaster as Texas reopens.
WHEREAS, 1, Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, issued a disaster proclamation on March
13, 2020, certifying under Section 418.014 of the Texas Government Code that the novel
coronavirus (COVID-19) poses an imminent threat of disaster for all counties in the
State of Texas; and
WHEREAS, in each subsequent month effective through today, I have renewed the
disaster declaration for all Texas counties; and
WHEREAS, I have issued executive orders and suspensions of Texas laws in response to
COVID-19, aimed at protecting the health and safety of Texans and ensuring an
effective response to this disaster; and
WHEREAS, I issued Executive Order GA -08 on March 19, 2020, mandating certain
social -distancing restrictions for Texans in accordance with guidelines promulgated by
President Donald J. Trump and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC);
and
WHEREAS, I issued Executive Order GA -I4 on March 31, 2020, expanding the social -
distancing restrictions for Texans based on guidance from health experts and the
President; and
WHEREAS, I subsequently issued Executive Orders GA -16, GA -18, GA -21, GA -23, and
GA -26 from April through early June 2020, aiming to achieve the least restrictive means
of combatting the threat to public health by continuing certain social -distancing
restrictions, while implementing a safe, strategic plan to reopen Texas; and
WHEREAS, as Texas reopens in the midst of COVID-19, increased spread is to be
expected, and the key to controlling the spread and keeping Texas residents safe is for all
Texans to consistently follow good hygiene and social -distancing practices, especially
those set forth in the minimum standard health protocols from the Texas Department of
State Health Services (DSHS); and
WHEREAS, in June 2020, Texas experienced substantial increases in COVID-19 cases
and hospitalizations, necessitating targeted and temporary adjustments to the reopening
plan to achieve the least restrictive means for reducing the growing spread of COVID-19
and the resulting imminent threat to public health, and to avoid a need for more extreme
measures; and
WHEREAS, I therefore issued Executive Orders GA -28 and GA -29 in late June and early
FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE
SECRETARY OF STATE
'"(DI/h.- O'CLOCK
OCT 0 7 2020
Governor Greg Abbott Executive Order GA -32
October 7, 2020 Page 2
July 2020, respectively, and amended Executive Order GA -28 by proclamation on July
2, 2020; and
WHEREAS, due to improved medical treatments for COVID-19 patients, substantial
increases in testing, abundant supplies of personal protective equipment, and Texans'
adherence to safe practices like social distancing, hand sanitizing, and use of face
coverings, the spread of COVID-19 and the number of new COVID-19 cases and
hospitalizations have steadily and significantly declined since late July; and
WHEREAS, I therefore issued Executive Orders GA -30 and GA -31 on September 17,
2020, allowing additional reopening and non-essential medical surgeries and procedures
in Texas, except in some areas with high hospitalizations as defined in those orders; and
WHEREAS, as Texas continues to reopen, everyone must act safely, and to that end, this
executive order and prior executive orders provide that all persons should follow the
health protocols from DSHS, which whenever achieved will mean compliance with the
minimum standards for safely reopening, but which should not be used to fault those
who act in good faith but can only substantially comply with the standards in light of
scarce resources and other extenuating COVID-19 circumstances; and
WHEREAS, in the Texas Disaster Act of 1975, the legislature charged the governor with
the responsibility "for meeting ... the dangers to the state and people presented by
disasters" under Section 418.011 of the Texas Government Code, and expressly granted
the governor broad authority to fulfill that responsibility; and
WHEREAS, under Section 418.012, the "governor may issue executive orders ...
having] the force and effect of law;" and
WHEREAS, failure to comply with any executive order issued during the COVED -19
disaster is an offense punishable under Section 418.173 by a fine not to exceed $1,000,
and may be subject to regulatory enforcement;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, by virtue of the power and
authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and in
accordance with guidance from the Commissioner of the Texas Department of State
Health Services, Dr. John Hellerstedt, other medical advisors, the White House, and the
CDC, do hereby order the following on a statewide basis effective at 12:01 a.m. on
October 14, 2020:

restrictions not inconsistent with this executive order.

paragraph No. 6, may offer on -premises services only as described by this

establishment is located files the requisite form with TABC; or
b. the bar or similar establishment is in an area with high hospitalizations as
defined above, but is located in a county that has filed with DSHS, and is in

regarding minimal cases of COVID-19, and the county judge of the county in
which the bar or similar establishment is located also files the requisite form
with TABC.
Patrons at bars or similar establishments operating under this paragraph may eat or
drink only while seated, except that in an establishment that holds a permit from
TABC as a brewer, distiller/rectifier, or winery, customers may sample beverages
while standing so long as they are in a group of six people or fewer and there is at
least six feet of social distancing or engineering controls, such as partitions,
between groups.
Where applicable, this 50 percent occupancy limit applies only indoors; the limit
does not apply to outdoor areas, events, or establishments, although social
distancing and other protocols must be followed.
People shall not visit bars or similar establishments that are located in counties not
included in parts (a) or (b) above. A current list of all counties reopening under this
paragraph will be maintained on TABC's website.
The use by bars or similar establishments of drive-thru, pickup, or delivery options

8. For purposes of this executive order, facilities with retractable roofs are considered
indoor facilities, whether the roof is opened or closed.
9. Staff members are not included in determining operating levels, except for

cleanliness, and sanitation.
12. In providing or obtaining services, every person (including individuals, businesses,

13. Nothing in this executive order or the DSHS minimum standards precludes
requiring a customer to follow additional hygiene measures when obtaining

services.
14. People may visit nursing homes, state supported living centers, assisted living
facilities, or long-term care facilities as determined through guidance from the
Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). Nursing homes, state
supported living centers, assisted living facilities, and long-term care facilities
should follow infection control policies and practices set forth by HHSC, including
minimizing the movement of staff between facilities whenever possible.
15. Public schools may operate as provided by, and under the minimum standard health
protocols found in, guidance issued by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Private
schools and institutions of higher education are encouraged to establish similar
standards.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the governor may by proclamation add
to the list of establishments or venues that people shall not visit.
This executive order shall supersede any conflicting order issued by local officials in
response to the COVID-19 disaster, but only to the extent that such a local order restricts
services allowed by this executive order, allows gatherings prohibited by this executive
order, or expands the list or scope of services as set forth in this executive order.
Pursuant to Section 418.016(a) of the Texas Government Code, I hereby suspend
Sections 418.1015(b) and 418.108 of the Texas Government Code, Chapter 81,
Subchapter E of the Texas Health and Safety Code, and any other relevant statutes, to the
extent necessary to ensure that local officials do not impose restrictions in response to the
COVID-19 disaster that are inconsistent with this executive order, provided that local
officials may enforce this executive order as well as local restrictions that are consistent
with this executive order.
All existing state executive orders relating to COVID-19 are amended to eliminate
confinement in jail as an available penalty for violating the executive orders. To the
extent any order issued by local officials in response to the COVID-19 disaster would
allow confinement in jail as an available penalty for violating a COVID-19-related order,
that order allowing confinement in jail is superseded, and I hereby suspend all relevant
laws to the extent necessary to ensure that local officials do not confine people in jail for
violating any executive order or local order issued in response to the COVID-19 disaster.
This executive order supersedes Executive Order GA -30, but does not supersede
Executive Orders GA -10, GA -13, GA -17, GA -24, GA -25, GA -29, or GA -31. This
executive order shall remain in effect and in full force unless it is modified, amended,
rescinded, or superseded by the governor. This executive order may also be amended by
proclamation of the governor.
Given under my hand this the 7th
day of October, 2020.
