If anyone thinks you will be able to roll into Costco without a mask, or leave your room at the Hilton and not have a mask while on their property, you are going to be in for a shock.
Also Texas has County Judges who retain the ability to enforce mask mandates in their counties. Many counties in DFW had mask mandates before the State enacted their own.
This entire thing has nothing to do with masks/freedom/covid. This is amateur hour "sleight of hand" where the Governor is trying to take attention off of the disaster we saw with the power outages, damaged homes, unmaintained power grid etc.
I expect zero change in daily Texas life in regards to this mandate. Im glad businesses can open up and pay bills, but people who want to wear masks will still wear them and people who don't will be met with a majority of businesses and restaurant's still requiring masks to enter.

The governor of Montana quietly lifted all restrictions on Jan 15th this year. Since then the 7 day average for covid cases in Montana has plummeted from 444 per day to 170. Experiment successful so far.
Be honest you know the restrictions do nothing.
