Celebrate with Family and Friends, Not Fireworks and Firearms
It is illegal to possess or use fireworks, or discharge firearms within the city limits. 

To report firearm violations, call non-emergency police dispatch at 972-285-6336.

To report illegal fireworks, email fireworks@mesquitepolice.org or use the web-based tool to identify locations where illegal fireworks are being used at Police Web Report.


Fines range from $500 to $4,000 with the illegal discharge of a firearm also carrying the possible penalty of up to one year in jail.

Citations will be issued, arrests will be made and all evidence will be seized. 

In response to a high-volume of service calls related to these offenses, Police and Fire Department staffing levels
will be increased during peak violation times to allow for greater enforcement efforts.
