The Harris County attorney said Tuesday that Texas business owners should sue Gov. Greg Abbott over his executive order unilaterally banning public and private entities across the state from mandating vaccines.
In a statement, Menefee called the executive order shameful, and argued that it created confusion and opened up businesses to potential litigation that could slow economic recovery. Menefee is among the county attorneys across Texas who have sued the state over Abbotts bans on mask and vaccine mandates.
I encourage Texas business owners who believe in science and the rule of law to sue Governor Abbott and join Harris County and other cities and school districts fighting back against his overreach, Menefee wrote. We must keep pushing these cases forward so the Texas Supreme Court can rein in Governor Abbott's illegal executive orders.
Under Abbotts latest executive order, no entity in Texas including private businesses can require COVID-19 vaccinations from employees or customers. It comes on the heels of previous orders that have banned county, city and other local governments from enacting such mandates in public buildings.
