The TCEQ Outdoor Burning Rule first prohibits outdoor burning anywhere in Texas, and then allows exceptions for specific situations in which burning is necessary or does not pose a threat to the environment.  The rule also prescribes conditions that must be met to protect the environment and avoid other adverse impacts when burning is allowed.  Outdoor Burning in Texas (RG-049), TCEQ, 2008.
