FAQ: Do you sell fireworks for Cinco De Mayo in Texas?

Q: Do you sell fireworks for Cinco De Mayo in Texas?

A: State Law allows fireworks sales for Cinco De Mayo for a shortened selling season.  According to the Texas State law on fireworks:

“beginning May 1 and ending at midnight on May 5 if the fireworks are sold at a location that is not more than 100 miles from the Texas-Mexico border and that is in a county in which the commissioners court of the county has approved the sale of fireworks during the period.”

While we do sell within 100 miles of the border, few counties actively approved fireworks sales in the recent past.  If something changes where we’ll open, we’ll post on this website ASAP.

FAQ: How can I buy fireworks year round in Texas?

Q: Can I buy fireworks outside of the normal selling seasons (June 24th-July 4th, December 20th-January 1st & Cinco de Mayo)?

A: We can only sell fireworks to the public during the above selling seasons.  We can only sell fireworks to licensed resellers during any time of the year.

Q: How can I become a licensed reseller of fireworks in Texas?

A: You must provide us with two pieces of information:

  • A Sales Tax ID number (or we must charge you sales tax)
  • A Location where you will sell your fireworks.  We do not verify this location is legal for the sale of fireworks as that is your responsibility.

We can then sell your a $32 permit (all revenue from this goes to the State).  You are then able to purchase fireworks for resale outside of the legal selling seasons.
