Outdoor burning rules in Guadalupe County, TX — also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance — set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
Outdoor burning is banned statewide under 30 TAC 111.201 except for allowed disposal fires; unincorporated Guadalupe County residents may burn household waste where no trash collection reaches, unless the Commissioners Court has declared a burn ban.
30 TAC 111.201 prohibits all outdoor burning in Texas except as the rules allow. The 111.209 disposal-fire exception lets residents at a private home burn domestic waste and on-property plant growth where local trash collection is not provided. Burning must start no earlier than one hour after sunrise, finish one hour before sunset, stay attended, and keep 300 feet from a neighbor's occupied structure under 30 TAC 111.219. A Commissioners Court burn ban under Local Government Code 352.081 overrides these exceptions during the county's hot, drought-prone summers.
Unlawful outdoor burning is a Class C misdemeanor; burning that violates the Texas Clean Air Act can carry civil penalties up to $25,000 per day.
