Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins signed a local disaster declaration and an executive order Monday calling for businesses deemed non-essential to delay their opening until 10 a.m. Tuesday and for essential goods to be sold at their regular retail prices amid a historic winter storm that has left hundreds of thousands without power on a night where temperatures will drop to near zero.
