From DeSoto Parish Sheriff's Office 

 

We have received information regarding a 14 day shutdown on roadway travel between Louisiana and Texas. This was an order declared earlier today by Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott and not by our state or parish.

 

We will not be answering questions below in the comments. All questions at this time should be directed to either Texas Department of Public Safety or Texas Law Enforcement. Per the order, which was given by the Governor of Texas, the limitations will be enforced by Texas officials, on the Texas side, per Texas guidelines.

 

We really wish we were able to provide more answers, and we understand everyone’s concerns. If and when we receive more information we will share it immediately.

 

**** UPDATE: The executive order from Texas Governor Greg Abbott limits travel from any location in Louisiana into Texas. The order does NOT apply to travel related to commercial activity, military service, emergency response, health response, or critical infrastructure functions.

 

**** UPDATE: This order will be enforced by the Department of Public Safety at and near entry points from Louisiana.
