Hemphill County extends burn ban through April 1, sets March 30 review
Summary
The Commissioners' Court voted unanimously on March 9 to extend the countywide burn ban through April 1, 2026, with a scheduled review at the March 30 meeting.
Hemphill County Judge Lisa Johnson and the Commissioners' Court voted on March 9 to extend the county burn ban through April 1, 2026, with a review scheduled for the March 30 meeting. Commissioner Dale Schafer made the motion to extend the ban and Commissioner Tim Alexander seconded; the motion "carried unopposed."
The extension was presented as a routine public-safety measure; no public comments were made during the meeting. The Court logged the review date so commissioners can reassess fire risk at the March 30 session and decide whether to lift, shorten, or extend the restriction further.
