Texas follows the "one bite rule" with a negligence standard, meaning the owner is liable if they knew or should have known their dog had dangerous tendencies. Evidence of prior bites, aggressive behavior, complaints from neighbors, and violations of local leash laws establishes that the owner was on notice of the danger. Landlords and property managers who allow known dangerous dogs on their properties may also face liability for injuries occurring on the premises.
Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 822 addresses dangerous dogs and establishes criminal penalties for owners of dogs that cause serious bodily injury. Under Texas common law, a dog owner is liable for bite injuries if the owner knew or should have known the dog was dangerous, which can be shown through prior incidents or breed specific aggressive behavior. Local municipalities in Texas may enact stricter animal control ordinances that impose additional duties on dog owners, and violations of these ordinances support negligence claims.

Dog bite injuries can cause permanent scarring, nerve damage, infections, and lasting psychological trauma. Texas law allows victims to pursue compensation from dog owners who knew or should have known their animal was dangerous. Knowing the right steps to take after an attack can protect both your health and your legal rights.
Property owners in Texas have a legal duty to keep their premises safe for visitors. When they fail to address dangerous conditions and someone gets hurt, the injured person may have a premises liability claim. Texas law defines different levels of duty depending on why you were on the property.

At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
