State District Judge John Chupp has approved a restraining order against Fort Worth ISD by a group of parents, saying it lacks the authority to require face masks.

The legal petition would prevent enforcement of a mask mandate when school starts next week.

“If masks work, and you’re wearing a mask, why should I have to wear a mask?” said Judge Chupp during a zoom meeting with attorney Warren Norred.
