Dangerous Dog Codes and Leash Laws For Houston, Harris County, and Surrounding Areas
Unlike most other areas of personal injury law, dog bite ordinances are not entirely the same from city to city. City municipal codes and county codes must be considered when determining the rules and regulations in a particular area. Below is a collection of applicable codes for Houston and the surrounding areas. Generally, if city municipal codes apply, you follow them. County Codes typically kick in when the attack occurs outside the city limits in unincorporated areas within the county. Additionally, Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 822 applies to bites all over the State of Texas.
