CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Firework stands across Texas are open for business as the state’s firework selling season begins.

Texas law allows firework stands to operate from June 24th through midnight on July 4th. During that window, retailers can sell a range of products, from sparklers and fountains to larger aerial displays.

Residents who witness illegal fireworks activity are asked to report it by calling the non-emergency line at 361-886-COPS (2677), rather than 911.

Anyone planning to use fireworks legally outside city limits is encouraged to follow basic safety precautions to avoid injury or property damage.
