May 1, 2020 - Under the Governor’s order there was an attestation for counties with five or fewer confirmed cases of COVID-19. As The County Judge has stated that Bandera County falls under this and will allow the capacity of the businesses to go from 25% to 50% occupancy as long as the social distancing guidelines are followed. Marshal Dietrich tried to visit most of the restaurants in the City limits today to cover this new stipulation and guidelines. So, with that said as of May 1, 2020 restaurants, retail stores, shopping malls, museums, libraries, and movie theaters can open at 50% occupancy. If you don’t have a Certificate of Occupancy and are in the City limits only and need to know what your capacity number is please call 830-522-3126.

Sanitary Sewer Blockages With the growing concerns over the COVID-19 virus we understand that everyone has kicked their normal disinfecting and cleaning habits into high gear. We are asking that you refrain from flushing baby wipes, cleaning wipes, paper towels, and even the so called “flushable wipes” down your toilet. These products cause serious issues with the sanitary sewer collection system throughout the city.
