	"Every summer is the same in Texas, hor and dry. Our commissioners court wants to order a burn ban that automatically renews throughout the summer."

If drought conditions still exist, must a new burn ban be adopted at the end of each 90 day period?

Yes. Local Government Code §352.081 contemplates the court issuing new orders at the end of each 90-day period. Section 352.081(c) states that the court may adopt an order that takes effect on the expiration of a previous order.
