It seems that private property in an unincorporated area is one of the only ways. Is there a park, beach, or somewhere else that might work? For example, I heard something about firework stands "shoot on site" but I can't find any in the Houston area. I'm willing to travel up north. Any tips would be appreciated, I bought some and I'm not sure where to pop them.

There are so many options! I feel overwhelmed. I'm looking for something in the 200-260k ranges (2000 SQ FT). Distance really doesn't matter much for me, I really care about the community vibe and well maintained amenities. I would greatly appreciate any tips, you have no idea how much driving I've done trying to find the right fit.
