The lawsuit was filed late Monday night.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins is requesting a temporary restraining order, claiming Governor Greg Abbott's executive order on mask mandates violates state law.
Gov. Abbott has issued an executive order that prevents local governments from enacting mask mandates.
Abbott's order was filed after the CDC recommended mask-wearing for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people indoors.
In a tweet, Jenkins says "This is about ensuring there's adequate medical resources and hospital bed capacity to take care of people with COVID."
