Fireworks near Quinlan, TX

Quinlan is one of our closest neighbors. You don't even need the interstate. A few farm roads take you from Quinlan, near Lake Tawakoni, straight up to our spot on the I-30 frontage road.

Quinlan and the store are both in Hunt County, so the county rules you'll check are the same ones that apply around the store. What we couldn't confirm is the city's own rule on fireworks inside Quinlan city limits, so read the city code or call City Hall before you plan anything in town.

Driving from Quinlan

It's about 25 minutes and 13 miles from downtown Quinlan. Take Main Street out to the Quinlan Bypass and keep going west on SH 276 for about 4.5 miles. Bear left onto FM 35, then turn right on FM 1565 and take it north about 5 miles.

FM 1565 runs right up to I-30 at Exit 83. Turn right onto the I-30 frontage road and the store is about three quarters of a mile ahead at 5159 I-30, Caddo Mills. These are two-lane country roads, so watch for farm equipment and slower traffic.

We could not verify Quinlan's rule on fireworks use inside city limits. The city's Code of Ordinances is on eCode360.

Whatever the city says, state law still applies everywhere, including the 600-foot buffer around churches, schools and hospitals. See /texas-fireworks-laws/ for the statewide rules.

Where you can legally shoot

Until you've confirmed the city rule, don't plan on shooting inside Quinlan city limits. Many people around Quinlan shoot in unincorporated Hunt County on private land with the owner's permission. Texas cities can enforce fireworks rules up to 5,000 feet past their limits, so get well clear of town.

Hunt County can restrict certain fireworks during drought and can issue burn bans, and those orders can come up quickly in a dry season. Check Hunt County's current orders and our /texas-fireworks-laws/hunt/ page. Lake Tawakoni shoreline, parks and other public land aren't OK unless an official source says so. The city's Fireworks in the Park is a safe bet in July.
