Louisiana State Police has received numerous calls from Louisiana residents regarding travel restrictions ordered by the Texas Governor. Nothing in the Texas executive order “closes” the border or otherwise restricts traveling into or out of Texas as long as Louisiana residents comply with the directions of the order which “mandates a 14-day self-quarantine for every person who enters the State of Texas through roadways from Louisiana.” Additionally, there are clear exemptions. This order does not prohibit or limit in any way motorists’ ability to travel into Texas for scheduled medical treatment. And the order to self-quarantine does not apply to people traveling in connection with commercial activity, military service, emergency response, health response, or critical-infrastructure functions.
