The answer to this question is a bit complicated, as there is no simple yes or no answer. The state of Texas does not currently have a statewide mandate in place requiring restaurant employees to wear masks, however, many localities within the state do have such mandates in place. For example, the city of Austin requires all employees of food service establishments to wear face coverings while working. So, if you are planning on dining out in Texas, it is best to check with the local regulations in the area where the restaurant is located to see if mask wearing is required for staff.
