Friends,
As we bring 2021 to a close, it’s natural to want to celebrate with our families and friends, but please remember that popping fireworks and discharging guns is dangerous and illegal in the city of Houston.
Fireworks late at night are very disruptive to your neighbors who may be trying to rest or caring for children and pets. Loud, sudden noises may also be triggers for neighbors who are veterans and suffer with PTSD.
The City will enforce fire and safety laws, and fines from $500 - $2,000 will be issued for each individual firework. If a minor is caught with fireworks, the parent or guardian will receive the fine even if they were unaware of the minor's possession and/or usage.
Let’s use this holiday to celebrate and bring in the new year safely. Happy New Year!
