If you re heading to Padre Island National Seashore soon, there s something you should know.
The national park is requiring visitors to wear face masks while inside its facilities or in areas outside where social distancing is impossible, according to a Sunday Facebook post from PINS.
PINS is managed by the Department of the Interior, which is a federal agency, not a state organization like the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. All national parks are mandating face masks. Dustin Baker, public information officer for PINS, told MySA.com the executive order from the White House does not give details on fines or violations but asks sites to encourage and remind visitors to wear face masks.

Mandatory face masks are staying put in Austin for the time being.
Austin Mayor Steve Adler said the public health face mask order that requires all Travis County residents to wear them will remain in effect for the next two weeks. The order stays after a U.S. District Court judge refused to grant the State of Texas an emergency, a temporary injunction on Friday.
CPS Energy is trying to prevent large electricity bills for its customers.
On Friday, the city-owned utility company announced it filed a suit against the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) in Bexar County District Court to protect its customers from excessive, illegitimate, and illegal prices.
CPS is suing ERCOT for breach of contract, negligence and violation of the Texas Constitution. The suit comes after ERCOT forced energy companies to conduct 15-mintue rolling outages during the devastating February snowstorm. The action left many Texans without heat and power for days. The injustice of imposing an erroneous, excessive and unlawful cost on San Antonians who suffered during a storm cannot be allowed, Mayor Ron Nirenberg said in a press conference with CPS on Friday. ERCOT botched the storm response, and the regulators should be held accountable for their own mistakes.
