Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo says no to reopening bars until ‘virus is under control’
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo is leaning on keeping bars closed after Gov. Greg Abbott gave county judges the decision to reopen.
Abbott announced Wednesday afternoon that bars can open up to 50 percent capacity beginning Wednesday, Oct. 14.
There are restrictions, including no standing.
Judge Hidalgo quickly took to Twitter to voice her concerns and said indoor gatherings shouldn’t be taking place.
“This applies to bars as well,” tweeted the judge.
Eyewitness News contacted Hidalgo’s office directly and asked if Harris County bars will be allowed to reopen after the governor’s announcement.
Her office responded saying, “not at this time.”
The Gov. Greg Abbott said the authority will be given to county judges to decide whether to open at all, but if they choose to, the capacity cannot exceed 50 percent.

“ALTER EGO unites Royce’s musical tastes in one masterpiece that allows him to be a bachata/tropical singer and also showcase the R&B and urban sound he grew up listening to in New York.” Billboard
“The bilingual star further plays up his versatility throughout Alter Ego, which is split into Side A and Side B, like an old-school mixtape. Whereas the ‘Génesis’ side pays respects to his beginnings as a tropical star, the ‘Enigma’ side shows the 30-year-old singer flirting with fresh música urbana and Latin pop sounds.” Rolling Stone
“In a fickle music industry where artists come and go, Prince Royce has kept up with the times while staying true to his roots. As tastes in music change, he’s steadfast in representing the genre of his Dominican heritage, bachata, and adventures into new sounds he’s come across in the past decade.” Grammy.com

NFL AND NFLPA COVID-19 MONITORING TESTING RESULTS
The National Football League and NFL Players Association today announced the COVID-19 monitoring testing results for September 20 – October 3.
During this period, players and Tier 1 and 2 personnel were tested daily. Tier 3 individuals were tested weekly. Individuals who test positive for COVID-19 follow the joint NFL-NFLPA Treatment Protocol. They are immediately isolated, not permitted access club facilities, or have direct contact with players or personnel. Club medical staff are in regular communication with individuals who test positive to monitor symptoms.
For any club experiencing an outbreak or had exposure to a club with an active outbreak, supplemental intensive protocols are mandatory for clubs to implement at their facilities. NFL Chief Medical Officer Dr. Allen Sills, in consultation with medical experts, will determine when a club must follow the Post Exposure COVID Procedures, as well as when they are relieved of these additional steps.
Monitoring Testing results for September 20 – September 26:
- 36,666 tests were administered to a total of 7,778 players and team personnel.
- 14,223 tests were administered to 2,470 players; 22,443 tests were administered to 5,308 personnel.
- There were two confirmed positive tests among players and four new confirmed positives among other personnel.
Monitoring Testing results for September 27 – October 3:
- 37,002 tests were administered to a total of 7,981 players and team personnel.
- 14,254 tests were administered to 2,480 players; 22,748 tests were administered to 5,501 personnel.
- There were 11 confirmed positive tests among players and 15 new confirmed positives among other personnel.
Total test results for the entire Monitoring Testing period to-date, Aug 1 – Oct 3:
- During Monitoring Testing from Aug 1 – Oct 3, 31 players and 53 other personnel were confirmed positive cases.
- More than 370,000 tests were administered to players and personnel during the Aug 1 – Oct 3 period.
“In the nine weeks since the beginning of training camp, we have had a number of isolated, new positive cases of COVID among players and other personnel across nearly two-thirds of NFL clubs and one outbreak among the Tennessee Titans,” said Dr. Allen Sills, NFL Chief Medical Officer. “We have said all along that we expect positive cases. As long as the virus is endemic in our communities, we will see new cases among our teams. Risk mitigation, not elimination, is the key. Our protocols are designed to quickly identify new cases, get individuals the care they need, and prevent further spread of the virus. It is critically important that we do not grow complacent in our rigorous application of measures proven to be impactful: always wearing face coverings, maintaining physical distancing and practicing healthy hand hygiene. This 2020 season, our common opponent is COVID – it’s all of us together versus the virus.”
“The virus is still very much a threat not only to our season, but to the safety of everyone in our community,” said Dr. Thom Mayer, NFLPA Medical Director. “We encourage everyone to do their part to follow the protocols and keep each other safe.”
Bodies removed from site of deadly Marathon Oil construction collapse
Crews on Wednesday recovered bodies of the three construction workers killed in a collapsed stairwell at the future Marathon Oil Corp. headquarters, fire officials said.
Families of the workers who died in the Monday collapse began gathering near the recovery site as demolition crews and construction contractors helped to stabilize the building, remove debris and establish an access point.
“It’s unfortunate it’s taken this long to get them out, but we want to ensure the safety of our members as we bring closure to the families,” said Assistant Fire Chief Michael Mire of the Houston Fire Department.
Engineers had to first determine the cause of the collapse before HFD on Tuesday assessed the structural integrity of the building to make sure it was safe to send rescuers inside. The cause has not been disclosed — HFD has deferred to the contractors and Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which was on site Monday.
A portion of the precast stairwell in the new office tower collapsed around 1:30 p.m. Monday and crushed the three workers and injured another. The structural integrity of the building is intact, officials said.
Houston police, Pearland police, 20 rescue technicians and HFD’s hazardous materials team were at the building Wednesday and were being assisted by SouthEast Texas Regional Advisory Council. Crews had to break and cut the steel and concrete stairs to access the victims, creating a technical challenge for the rescuers involved, Mire said.
“It’s been a very difficult operation, because each of those stairs weighs approximately 14,000 pounds,” he said.
Crews removed the bodies from the approximately three-story pile of debris before 2 p.m., Mire said. Fire officials planned to ensure that everyone was accounted for before they closed out the scene, although the victim count remained at three.
The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences transported the bodies in the afternoon. The victims have not been publicly identified.
In a release Wednesday evening, the Houston Fire Department said it had “cleared the scene and turned the property back over to the owners (Marathon Oil) and Harvey Builders.”
Chris Lechner, executive director of the Precast Concrete Manufacturers’ Association in New Braunfels, said failures with precast products are rare.
“They are plant manufactured under exhausting specifications and then transported to the jobs site,” Lechner said. “They’re built to be assembled.”
Dynamo v Frisco Matchday! Everything you need to know
The Houston Dynamo close a two-game stretch at BBVA Stadium on Wednesday against FC Dallas in the third leg of the Texas Derby this season.
Houston opened the two-game stretch with a 2-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City on Saturday in the fourth and final meeting between both clubs during the regular season. Dynamo Academy product Marcelo Palomino made his professional debut and became the seventh Academy product to represent the Dynamo in league play.
Houston’s lone goal of the game came in the final 10 minutes of the match off a corner kick, a first for the club this season. Colombian forward Darwin Quintero tallied his eighth assist of the season when his corner kick found Sam Junqua inside the box for his first professional goal. Quintero leads the team in goals this season with five and assists with eight.
Houston look to earn their first victory in the regular season series with Dallas on Wednesday and snap a six-game winless streak that began on the road with the 1-1 draw against the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 9. The Dynamo and Dallas split points in the first meeting this season playing to a scoreless draw on Aug. 21. FC Dallas pulled away, courtesy of a second half Franco Jara goal, to earn three points with a 2-1 victory on Sept. 12.
FC Dallas enter Wednesday’s game with a 2-1-2 record in their last five matches. Dallas won two consecutive games following their 2-1 victory over Houston on Sept. 12. Jara has settled in after a challenging stretch to open the season and now leads the team with five goals. The Dynamo backline will also have to limit Santiago Mosquera who has scored four goals in 333 minutes this season.
| WHO: | Houston Dynamo vs. FC Dallas |
| WHEN: | Wednesday, Oct. 7 – 7:00 p.m. CDT |
| TV: | QuestTexas Ch. 55 (Glenn Davis, Eddie Robinson and Cindy Burbano) |
| RADIO: | TUDN Radio Houston 1010 AM (Daniel Mejia and Lester Gretsch) |
Here are three key points ahead of Wednesday’s game:
- DYNAMO NAVIGATE SCHEDULE AND SUSPENSIONS: Houston will navigate disciplinary action on Wednesday as Maynor Figueroa and Matias Vera miss the Texas Derby to serve their suspension for yellow card accumulation. Boniek Garcia and Memo Rodriguez could miss Saturday’s match in Florida if they receive a caution on Wednesday evening. Two yellow cards in the next stretch of games would see Kiki Struna miss another match after serving a yellow card suspension on Sept. 26 in Houston’s 1-1 draw at Nashville. Additionally, Houston will face a quick turnaround as they travel to Florida for their first meeting with Inter Miami CF on Saturday.
- FIRST GOAL KEY TO POINTS: The first goal of the game could play a large role in who walks away with three points on Wednesday as the Dynamo look to avoid conceding the first goal of the game for the seventh consecutive match. FC Dallas enters the match with a 5-3-6 record when scoring the opening goal of the match, which includes the 2-1 victory over Houston on Sept. 12. The North Texas side has 0-3-1 record when conceding the first goal. Houston holds a 2-0-2 record when scoring first in 2020 and a 0-3-4 record when scoring second.
- TEXAS DERBY WELCOMES NEW RIVALRY: This is the final edition of the Texas Derby with only two MLS clubs in the Lone Star State. Austin FC begin play in MLS next season and their academy teams have begun activity in the new MLS Next format. Wednesday’s match is the third meeting of the regular season between Houston and Dallas. The final meeting between both clubs is scheduled for Oct. 31 as the Dynamo visit Frisco in their final road trip of the year. The North Texas side leads the all-time series between both clubs with a 12-11-14 record and the Dynamo hold a 8-4-7 record at home against their in-state rivals.
