In a Tweet, County emergency management officials reminded residents their latest curfew orders only applies to unincorporated areas of the county, as many cities already issued their own nightly policies.
Like the western neighboring county, Mayor Sylvester Turner issued a curfew for Houston residents, under which people are not allowed to leave their homes between 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
