Relating to permit requirements for the sale of fireworks.
HB 2192 proposes to amend Texas law by adding four new authorized periods for retail fireworks sales: February 25-27, April 16-21, a week around Memorial Day (Wednesday before last Monday in May), and the Diwali holiday period. It directly affects retail fireworks permit holders, allowing them to sell to the public during these additional times if approved by a county commissioners court. The bill also specifies that sales near the Texas-Mexico border during May 1-5 remain permitted only in counties with prior approval. The proposed changes would take effect September 1, 2025, pending legislative approval.
