I thought this was worth sharing here. Just to clarify a few things.
As you prepare for New Year’s Eve, please be aware fireworks are legal in unincorporated Fort Bend County and Deputies CANNOT instruct your neighbor to stop discharging fireworks since it is a legal activity. Additionally, HOA deed restrictions are not enforceable by law enforcement. We mention this every holiday in an effort to educate those that are used to living inside cities, where fireworks are prohibited. Our Dispatch will receive many angry calls from residents who don’t understand we cannot do anything about fireworks. In fact, counties are not even empowered to regulate fireworks except during periods of drought. Please celebrate safely.
