Fireworks are still legal in Texas, there is just a ban in some areas at this time due to extreme drought conditions. Some municipalities are rescheduling their fireworks displays to coincide with Christmas festivities. Due to the burn ban fireworks stands have also been closed. Barbecuing at public parks has been banned in some areas for a while, you can get a ticket for flicking a cigarette butt outside - all these things to prevent wildfire, not to trample our rights.
