What this means
If a burn ban is active, counties usually restrict outdoor burning because of wildfire risk, drought, or dangerous fire weather.
If no active burn ban is listed, outdoor burning may still be regulated by county rules, weather conditions, or temporary local restrictions.
Check the official Texas A&M Forest Service updates and your Cochran County officials before conducting any outdoor burning.
Before you burn outdoors
- Confirm the latest county burn ban status on the official state source.
- Check with your county judge, emergency management office, or local fire marshal.
- Avoid burning on windy or extremely dry days.
- Keep water, tools, and a safe perimeter ready if burning is allowed.
