NEW: @GovAbbott issues a new executive order outlawing all coronavirus vaccine mandates, including vaccines approved by the FDA. Abbott's previous order only prevented mandates for vaccines administered under an emergency use authorization. gov.texas.gov/uploads/files/… #txlege
More news — Abbott is asking #txlege to pass a law during the ongoing special session that would codify his ban on vaccine mandates: gov.texas.gov/uploads/files/…
Abbott's order: "No governmental entity can compel any individual to receive a COVID-19 vaccine."

Also: "No consumer may be denied entry to a facility financed in whole or in part by public funds for failure to provide documentation regarding the consumer's vaccination status"

Though most Houston residents have had their power restored, @SylvesterTurner says there may be some additional power outages today, as ERCOT may tell CenterPoint (@CNPalerts) to shed power.
At news conference from @HoustonOEM HQ, Turner says Houston's water pressure has improved and @HouPublicWorks has brought generators back online, but "we still have a way to go." He says citywide water pressure will likely stabilize around 35 PSI sometime tomorrow.
No word yet on what exactly this means for residents' access to running water. However, Turner says the city will remain under a boil water notice until Sunday or Monday, since state law requires cities to continue testing water samples for 24 hours before lifting the notice.

.@SylvesterTurner kicking off a press conference at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Updates to follow Image
Turner says power will not be fully restored for another couple days. And he asks people to stay off the roads at night and not be "fooled" by conditions during the day, when it's warmer.
There are currently 600 people staying at the city-operated shelter/warming center at @GRBCC, which Turner just toured before the presser. It's full at the moment.
