Special Notice: Information regarding fireworks in Lamar County || Content Sponsored by Power Jack Foundation Repair

With the Fourth of July coming up, the Lamar County Sheriff’s Office has issued information regarding fireworks in Lamar County.

Firework use and possession are allowed in Lamar Count, but only in the unincorporated areas of Lamar County. In other words, as long as you are not within the city limits or within 5,000 feet of the city limits (depending on the city ordinance) you can have your own fireworks-related fun.

“In addition, it is important to respect the rights of others. Loud or dangerous conduct can disturb others and land you in trouble with our Deputies. Also, remember that fireworks and alcohol do not mix. Texas Penal Code § 49.02 (Public Intoxication) makes it a crime to be intoxicated to the extent that you are a danger to yourself or others,” Lamar County Sheriff’s Office.
