Today, Tarrant County joined other officials and postponed in-person learning for public and non-religious private schools. Schools cannot open until Sept. 28. https://t.co/Nkp5qqou17— Texas Tribune (@TexasTribune) July 21, 2020
Not sure what distinction contagion makes between private schools and "religious private schools."

The Texas Comptroller is an elected office, but the tradition of the office is not never bullshit about the economy or state revenues. The Lege bases the biennial state budget on the Comptroller's report, so it's expected to be right, not imaginary.
Yeah, we're screwed. Thanks, Gov. Abbott.
