DALLAS (1080 KRLD) - Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins has stated that vape shops are not considered "essential" under his mandatory shelter-in-place order.

On his Twitter account yesterday Jenkins wrote: "Vape shops and sellers of CBD oil are not essential businesses" and they are therefore not permitted to remain open. 

Vape shops and sellers of CBD oil are not essential businesses.

Owners object, saying their customers consider their products and services quite essential.

Nevertheless, the shops remain closed and many of them are trying to ramp up their on-line presence.
