Dry conditions in Texas have led to burn restrictions in several counties, including Zapata and Duval. These restrictions are part of a larger effort across the state, with 144 counties currently under such orders. In the affected areas, open burning is not allowed.

The goal of these restrictions is to reduce the risk of wildfires. Further information on the burn restrictions, including details on how they are established, can be found through local news sources, such as KGNS.
