Under the state's reopening plan, many businesses were allowed to begin reopening for walk-in and dine-in customers—with some limitations—May 1.

Some Katy-area restaurants, such as Mambo Seafood at 20210 Katy Freeway, Katy, and retailers, such as At Home at 19420 Katy Freeway, Houston, reopened for customers ready to get back into the community.

However, many other businesses, including Kohl's, Torchy's Tacos and Snap Kitchen, did not expand their services and maintained their curbside and delivery options.
