A Texas judge has sided with the city of Austin in Attorney General Ken Paxton’s (R) lawsuit over the city's mask mandate.
Judge Lora Livingston on Friday declined to grant the state a temporary injunction, according to NBC affiliate KXAN.
The ruling keeps the mandate in place for at least two more weeks and another hearing is set for March 26, KXAN reports. Livingston could change her ruling after hearing more arguments.
Austin Mayor Steve Adler praised the ruling on Twitter, saying “Good news! We learned this morning that Austin's mask rules will remain in effect for the next two weeks. We return to court March 26.”
“No matter what happens then, we will continue to be guided by doctors and data. Masking works,” he tweeted.
