A local legal expert says Gov. Greg Abbott's executive order banning vaccine mandates by private businesses is likely to end up in court. UTSA political science professor Jon Taylor says the statewide order raises complex legal issues that the courts will probably have to sort out. Abbott's order runs counter to a federal order by President Joe Biden directing businesses with more than 100 employees to require them to be vaccinated. A number of businesses in Texas have already done so, and are now talking with their legal teams.
