The Coryell County commissioners court announced a court order lifting the county burn ban effective immediately and said the matter may be discussed again on the Dec. 9 agenda.
The presiding judge said there would be “a court order, lifting, the burn ban, that's been in place,” adding that there is enough moisture in the ground and wet weather is expected. The judge offered to place the matter on the Dec. 9 agenda to consider whether to reenact or reimplement the ban if conditions change.
During the closing portion of the meeting a resident spoke, saying, “We're we're gonna burn some brush,” and referenced a recent $500 fine. The remarks were informal and did not prompt further action; the court adjourned afterward.
