Texas assigns no regulatory wildfire hazard zones and no wildland-urban-interface building code to unincorporated Guadalupe County; drought burn bans by the Commissioners Court are the county's only wildfire-driven restriction.
Unincorporated Guadalupe County has no mapped fire-severity zones, no defensible-space mandate, and no wildland-urban-interface construction code, because Texas counties lack general zoning and building-code authority. The Texas A&M Forest Service publishes wildfire-risk maps for the county's hot, drought-prone summers, but they carry no regulatory force. The county's operative wildfire tool is a temporary outdoor-burning ban the Commissioners Court adopts under Local Government Code 352.081 once the Texas A&M Forest Service confirms drought conditions.
No wildfire-zone building penalties exist; burning during an active drought burn ban is a Class C misdemeanor with a fine of up to $500.
