Hemphill County extends burn ban for 45 days
Summary
The Hemphill County Commissioners' Court voted unanimously May 11 to extend the county burn ban for 45 days as a public‑safety measure. The motion to extend was made by Commissioner Dale Schafer and seconded by Commissioner Dawn Webb.
The Hemphill County Commissioners' Court voted May 11 to extend the countywide burn ban for 45 days.
Commissioner Dale Schafer moved to extend the burn ban for 45 days; Commissioner Dawn Webb seconded the motion, which "carried unopposed." The extension was recorded as a formal motion in the minutes and will remain in effect for the stated 45‑day period unless the court amends it at a later meeting.
The action was procedural and taken as part of routine court business; the minutes do not record debate, qualifying conditions, or an effective start time beyond the motion recorded at the May 11 meeting. The court did not attach additional enforcement details or exceptions in the minutes. The next steps are the usual monitoring and a possible return to the court before the ban expires.
