# Bastropia

Everything in Bastrop County, Texas: events, news, weather, burn bans, public meetings, and local services.

Bastropia is a community site for Bastrop County, Texas. It is not the county, a city, or an emergency service. Burn bans, court dates, polling places, and office numbers are summaries of public pages. The linked official page is the authority.

Burn ban: No burn ban is listed. The Bastrop County outdoor burning page says there is no burn ban in effect. That can change the same day. Checked 2026-10-27. Source: https://www.bastropcounty.gov/page/em.outdoor_burning

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. Polls are open 7 am to 7 pm. Hours and polling places: https://bastropia.com/go-vote. Source: https://www.bastropvotes.org/voting-schedule/
