Is the Dog Owner Liable Under Texas’ Dog Bite Law?

Different states handle dog bite claims in different ways according to their related statutes. Although Texas does not have a specific dog bite statute, previous cases have set a precedent that the state uses a one-bite rule during personal injury claims related to dog attacks. A one-bite rule centers on the legal theory of negligence.  It states that a pet owner will only be liable for an attack if he or she should have prevented it based on the knowledge that the pet had vicious propensities. The dog must have bitten someone or exhibited aggressive behaviors in the past that would lead the pet owner to believe it could harm someone again. Then, the owner must have negligently failed to prevent a foreseeable attack. Proving these elements may be necessary to obtain compensation in Texas.
