HB 5052 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the period during which a retail fireworks permit holder may sell fireworks to the public.

HB 5052 modifies Texas law to define specific periods when retail fireworks permit holders can sell fireworks to the public. The bill establishes three allowed sale windows: June 24-July 4, December 20-January 1, and May 1-5 near the Texas-Mexico border (if approved by the local county commissioners court). It repeals prior restrictions (Section 2154.202(h)) to replace them with these fixed periods. This directly affects retail businesses holding fireworks permits across Texas, with the border exception requiring county approval. The changes take effect September 1, 2025.
