Judge Samaniego,
I am writing to provide formal notice that I made contact with Governor Abbott the evening of Friday,
May 8. I communicated to the Governor that El Paso was not ready for any further expansion due to our
increase in positive cases of COVID-19, and the hospitalization rates. I also inquired if a formal letter was
required of me, and he said a phone call would suffice but suggested we consider alternative options
before taking this action.
In collaboration with Dr. Hector Ocaranza and Chief Mario D’Agostino, Governor Abbott and I agreed to
reassess after the completion of the steps outlined above. I have also informed Representative Moody and
Senator-Elect Blanco of my discussions with the Governor, and our mutually agreed upon actions.
If we have not yielded positive results within a reasonable time as determined by the Department of
Public Health, I will proceed with requesting an exemption from further re-opening of our economy.
I look forward to continuing our work together on behalf of the El Paso Community. Should you have any
questions regarding my communication with the Governor, do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Dee Margo
