Aransas County commissioners voted unanimously to adopt Order 0-03-2026, prohibiting outdoor burning in the county for a period of up to 60 days.
A motion to approve the order was introduced during the March 19 special meeting; the transcript does not identify which commissioner moved or seconded the motion. Court members cited elevated fire-risk conditions: the KDBI number was reported in the meeting as 543 and commissioners noted the last burn ban had ended the prior Friday and that an emergency declaration had been issued to extend protections for seven days.
The court conducted a roll-call vote. Commissioner Cheney, Commissioner Caster, Commissioner Russo, Commissioner Dupet and Judge Garson each recorded an affirmative vote; the motion passed 5-0. Meeting participants noted that those present would sign the adopted order after the vote.
The court then moved to adjourn and recorded a unanimous vote to close the special meeting.
Next steps: The order was adopted during the special session; the transcript indicates the court planned to sign the order but provides no further implementation details or an effective start date.
