Dog bites carry risks of infection, nerve damage, and scarring. Visit a Houston emergency room for wound treatment, antibiotics, and documentation of your injuries.
File a report with Houston Animal Control or the Harris County animal services department. An official report creates a record of the incident and the dog’s history.
Get the owner’s name, contact information, and address. Ask about the dog’s vaccination history. If witnesses saw the attack, collect their contact details as well.
Texas dog bite law involves specific negligence standards. Our Houston attorneys understand how to establish the owner’s liability and pursue compensation for your injuries.
Houston is one of the most populous cities in the country, and its neighborhoods are home to millions of pets. Dog bite incidents occur regularly in parks, on sidewalks, in apartment complexes, at outdoor dining areas, and in residential neighborhoods across Harris County. Areas with dense rental housing, limited fencing requirements, and high foot traffic see some of the highest rates of dog attacks.
Texas follows a “one bite” and negligence standard for dog bite liability. If the owner knew the dog had a history of aggression, failed to properly restrain the animal, or violated local leash laws, they can be held financially responsible for all injuries the dog caused. Our attorneys investigate the dog’s history, the owner’s actions, and the circumstances of the attack to build the strongest possible case.
Dog bite victims in Texas can recover compensation for all damages caused by the attack. The value of your case depends on the severity of the bite, the location of the wound, the need for reconstructive procedures, and the emotional impact of the incident.
Emergency room treatment, wound cleaning, stitches, antibiotics, and tetanus shots required immediately after the dog bite attack.
Plastic surgery, skin grafts, scar revision procedures, and follow up treatments for bites that cause visible disfigurement or functional impairment.
Therapy and counseling for PTSD, anxiety around dogs, nightmares, and the emotional trauma that often follows a violent animal attack.
Wages and earning opportunities lost while recovering from the physical injuries and psychological effects of the dog bite.
Dog attacks happen in many different settings and circumstances. Our Houston dog bite attorneys have experience with the full range of animal attack cases and the legal strategies each requires.
Loose dogs escaping yards and approaching pedestrians, joggers, and children on Houston sidewalks and residential streets.
Inadequate breed restrictions, broken gates, and lack of leash enforcement in Houston apartment communities contribute to preventable attacks.
Off leash dogs at Houston parks, the Buffalo Bayou trail, and Memorial Park can attack other visitors, runners, and leashed pets.
Children are the most vulnerable victims of dog attacks. Bites to the face, head, and neck can cause permanent scarring and deep emotional trauma.
Mail carriers and delivery workers who are bitten while performing their duties on Houston properties have strong claims against negligent dog owners.
Houston landlords who allow tenants to keep dangerous dogs or fail to enforce pet policies can share liability for attacks on their property.
Dog bite cases require a thorough understanding of Texas negligence law and animal behavior history. Our attorneys investigate every angle, from the owner’s knowledge of the dog’s temperament to violations of Houston leash and containment ordinances, to hold the responsible party accountable.

Texas uses a combination of the one bite rule and general negligence. If the owner knew or should have known the dog could be dangerous, or if they failed to use reasonable care to prevent the attack, they can be held liable.
You may still have a claim under general negligence if the owner failed to restrain the dog, violated a leash law, or knew the dog displayed aggressive behavior like growling, lunging, or snapping.
Most homeowner’s and renter’s insurance policies include liability coverage for dog bites. Our attorneys identify all available insurance sources to ensure you receive full compensation.
In some cases, yes. If the landlord knew about the dangerous dog and failed to act, or if the property had inadequate fencing or security, the landlord may share liability for the attack.
Scarring and disfigurement from dog bites can significantly increase compensation. Visible scars, especially on the face and hands, warrant additional damages for emotional distress and diminished quality of life.
The statute of limitations is two years from the date of the attack. Acting quickly preserves critical evidence like animal control records and medical documentation.
