Hot, dry conditions have taken their toll in North Texas once again, and now all outdoor burning is forbidden in unincorporated Parker County until at least Aug. 18.

The order will remain in effect for seven days from the date of signing. The Parker County Commissioners Court could issue a new burn ban if conditions persist.
