Texas operates under a “one-bite rule,” meaning that a dog owner may be held liable for a dog bite if they knew (or should have known) that their dog might be dangerous. Victims can still seek compensation under premises liability laws if the dog owner was negligent in controlling or restraining their pet.
If you were legally on someone’s property or in a public place, the owner may be held liable for your injuries. However, proving liability often requires a skilled legal team. You will need to demonstrate the dog owner’s negligence and the specific circumstances of the attack.
Texas law classifies certain dogs as “dangerous.” Dangerous dogs include those that have previously caused severe injuries or acted aggressively without provocation. Owners of dangerous dogs are required to take extra precautions.
If a dangerous dog causes an injury, its owner may face criminal penalties. You could be entitled to additional compensation for your injuries as well. The McMinn Personal Injury Lawyers can help determine whether a dog involved in your attack is considered dangerous under Texas law.
While many households in Texas have friendly, well-trained dogs, thousands of Americans are still bitten each year. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, an estimated 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs, with an estimated 800,000 requiring medical attention every year in the U.S. Unfortunately, children are often the victims of these attacks.
If a dog savagely attacked you, a loved one, or one of your children, you can hold the owner accountable. Don’t let them get away with causing you harm. Call McMinn Personal Injury Lawyers for help getting the justice you deserve.

Texas law limits the time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. The statute of limitations for dog bite cases in Texas is two years from the date of the injury. Failing to file within this period could prevent you from recovering any compensation for your injuries.
