HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - Harris County authorities are urging citizens not to fire their guns in celebration of the New Year.

Officials said not only is it dangerous, celebratory gunfire can be classified as deadly conduct, which is a Class A Misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to a $4,000 fine and up to one year in jail.

FOX 26 Houston is now on the FOX LOCAL app available through Apple TV, Amazon FireTV, Roku, Google Android TV, and Vizio!

If you choose to celebrate 2024, be sure to celebrate responsibly and designate a driver, if you choose to drink.

Be safe out there, Houston!
