Who Is Liable for a Dog Bite in Texas?
Texas follows a “one-bite rule,” meaning a dog owner may be held responsible if they knew or should have known their dog was dangerous. Factors that determine liability include:
📌 Previous aggressive behavior by the dog
📌 Failure to restrain the dog properly
📌 Negligence by the owner, such as ignoring leash laws
Proving liability can be complex, but our Houston dog bite attorneys have the experience to build a strong case on your behalf.
