The Texas Covid Freedom Act is a comprehensive Bill that would have banned all Covid Mandates in the State. This Bill passed the Texas House Public Health Committee and was overwhelmingly passed by the Texas Senate. The Leadership of the Texas House of Representatives killed the bill and allowed Covid mandates to continue.
