Relating to the sale of fireworks on and before the Lunar New Year holiday.
HB 5084 allows counties to authorize fireworks sales during the five days leading up to and including Lunar New Year, provided the county commissioners court approves the sale. This directly affects counties that choose to adopt the policy and retailers operating within those approved counties. The bill adds this new sales window to existing permitted periods (July 4th, New Year's Eve, and a border-specific May period), requiring local approval for the Lunar New Year exception. The law took effect September 1, 2025, after being signed by the governor.
