Summary

Citing dry grasses, low humidity and high winds, county emergency staff recommended and the court approved an extension of the burn ban in unincorporated Comal County effective 6 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026.

Comal County emergency staff recommended continuation of the outdoor burn ban for unincorporated areas, citing elevated Keetch-Byram drought index conditions and dry fuels from the past season. "Next Wednesday, the 11th, will be our 90 day mark again for the burn ban being on," the emergency official said, noting low humidity and higher wind speeds that increase fire danger.

Commissioner Leacock moved to approve the burn-ban order (Order 5-58) and Commissioner Crownover seconded; the court set the order to be effective at 6 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, and the motion carried by voice vote.
