Euless, TX Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

Euless prohibits the sale, possession, and use of consumer fireworks (classified as 1.4G explosives) anywhere inside city limits year-round. The ban rests on Texas Occupations Code Chapter 2154, which allows home-rule cities and any municipality with a population over 100,000 within a populous county to prohibit fireworks. Although Euless population sits near 60,000, the city relies on general nuisance and fire code authority combined with the DFW metropolitan exception in the statute. Prohibited items include firecrackers, bottle rockets, Roman candles, aerial shells, missiles, skyrockets, and reloadable mortar tubes. Professional pyrotechnic displays such as those at Texas Star Golf Course or municipal July 4th events are permitted only with a Fire Marshal permit, a licensed pyrotechnic operator, certificate of liability insurance, and a site safety inspection. Novelty items like sparklers, snakes, and party poppers classified as 1.4S are not treated as fireworks under the ban but remain subject to burn-ban restrictions. Violations are filed in Euless Municipal Court as Class C misdemeanors carrying fines up to 2,000 dollars per incident, and each device discharged can be charged separately. The Fire Department and Police Department increase patrols around July 4 and New Year Eve, and residents can report activity to non-emergency dispatch.
