LM Otero/APThe 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday night reinstated rules issued by Gov. The appeals court ruling means that as of now, mask-wearing at the polls cannot be enforced in Texas. The appeals court issued a temporary stay, reinstating the rules, while it considers other appeals. That lower court ruling paved the way for counties to start enforcing mask-wearing at the polls. Harris County, which includes Houston, is the largest county in Texas.
