KFDM 6 News is reporting that Jefferson County District Attorney Pat Knauth has confirmed that an investigation will be launched into Beaumont Mayor Becky Ames recently receiving service at a nail shop, which was captured in a photo and then provided to the media.

Knauth said that the investigation comes at the request of Jefferson County Judge Jeff Brannick and they will try to determine whether there is a criminal case, and when or whether they’ll be able to assemble a jury.

According to Knauth, the case will be turned over to an unspecified law enforcement agency for impartiality and they will be charged with determining if any criminal conduct occurred, whether by Ames, or, The Nail Bar on Old Dowlen Road.

Currently, all nail and hair businesses statewide are ordered closed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott in an attempt to stop the spread of Coronavirus. State officials say a violation, if followed by a conviction, could result in a fine of up to $2,000.00 and a jail term up to 6 months.

Btw, she's a Republican. Just in case you were wondering.
