Curfews Remain In Effect

Despite many parts of the city returning to normal, there are still hazards in the pitch black night streets -- not to mention crews of electrical workers -- that should be avoided. For those reasons, the city of Houston and most other surrounding cities still have curfews in effect this week, although the hours have been slightly decreased. Below you'll find a list of cities and their current curfews:

  • Houston: midnight to 6:00 a.m., ending on Monday, September 22nd

Remember that police can fine or even arrest you if you're found on the streets after curfew. You're better off settling in with a beer and a candlelit game of Uno at home, trust us.
