The answer: Yes, in fact, the State of Texas is now allowing massage parlors to operate as of May 18 as part of Phase 2 of reopening.

Gov. Greg Abbott’s Executive Order, GA-23, stated that massage establishments can reopen provided that all facilities maintain at least six feet between work stations.

Massage therapists must be screened for COVID-19 symptoms and are highly encouraged to schedule appointments to limit customer walk-ins. Other guidelines issued by the Strike Force can be viewed by clicking here.
