HAYS COUNTY – Only certain fireworks will be allowed for the upcoming July 4 holiday due to current drought conditions.
On June 7, the Hays County Commissioners Court adopted an order under Section 352.051 of the Texas Local Government Code – which prohibits the sale or use of restricted fireworks, defined as "skyrockets with sticks" and "missiles with fins", in the unincorporated area of Hays County. This also allows for the expiration of the order if the Hays County fire marshal determines that drought conditions no longer exist prior to the end of the sales period for the July 4 fireworks season.
