Aunt intel.....possible coronavirus in Henderson county. Stay alert east side!

Is the whole state of Texas on mandatory shelter in place?

Outlaws Longview Bar owner Melissa Lynn Kelly might be living up to the establishment’s name by reopening at 4 p.m. today before Gov. Greg Abbott loosens more COVID-19 restrictions that would let bars legally operate.

However, Kelly, who bought the bar at 1315 E. Marshall Ave. in December after working there off and on as a bartender since 2001, said her intent is not to be a lawbreaker, and she will observe social distancing guidelines by limiting occupancy to 25%.

“We are not trying to defy the government,” Kelly said. “We are simply trying to feed our families and keep our businesses going.”

Kelly said that if she does not reopen, “I won’t be able to open. I won’t be able to afford to keep the lights on. If I am going to go down, I am going to go down with a fight.”

Kelly and other bar owners and businesses shut their doors beginning midnight March 20 to comply with Abbott’s executive order intended to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. Abbott since then has allowed businesses such as restaurants, shops, hair salons and barbershops to reopen, with several restrictions, including a 25% capacity limit and social distancing requirements.

The bar industry has been shut down for more than 50 days, banned from takeout sales that have allowed some restaurants to limp by, even as restaurants were given some permissions to sell to-go booze. Texas bars have shed about 75,000 jobs and $630 million in revenue because of mandatory shutdowns.

That’s also cost the state about $40 million in liquor tax revenue, said Kelsey Erickson Streufert, Texas Restaurant Association’s vice president of government affairs and advocacy.

“It’s been devastating,” Erickson Streufert said.

Abbott is expected to announce more openings for the state on Monday
