TX Governor about to hold a press conference. Rumor is statewide 'stay-at-home' order for 7-14 days but we'll see.

Watching now. No statewide 'shelter-in-place' order right now. 200+ counties of 254 have no confirmed cases. Local officials have the power to implement if they choose. Dallas, Houston and Austin may do that. Rest of state still has Executive Order for restaurants, bars closed and no gatherings of more than 10 people.
Closed businesses make softer targets since nobody's there. Breaking into an armed home is too risky for thieves.
Think so but I'm not a lawfag. I think the law refers to the protection of property, which can include home or business.
