Eastland County Commissioners Court adopted a new Burn Ban at Monday’s regular meeting by a vote of 4 ayes and 0 nays. The new Burn Ban became effective September 28, 2026 and will remain in place until December 28, 2026, unless restrictions are terminated earlier based on a determination by the Texas Forest Service or the Court. Eastland County residents are hoping for relief from the heat and drought this week with rain expected beginning Wednesday. This might also impact the status of the County Wide Burn Ban.
