Understanding Texas Dog Bite Laws

In the state of Texas, to establish liability in a dog bite case you must be able to prove that:

• The dog's owner was aware of their dog’s potential for aggression, or it had bitten someone in the past (per Texas’ “one bite” rule), and/or
• The dog's owner negligently failed to use reasonable care to control the dog and/or prevent the bite, and
• You sustained injuries as a result.

This means that it can be difficult to sue for your injuries in some cases unless you possess definitive proof of the dog’s owner’s negligence and/or the dog’s past bad behavior. However, anyone who sustains injuries due to a dog bite in Fort Worth may be able to recover compensation for associated costs. Even if the owner attempts to show the dog was provoked, a skilled attorney can still advocate aggressively so the victim is adequately compensated.

The statute of limitations (or deadline) for dog bite injury claims in Texas is two years from the date of the incident. If you fail to file your claim before this date has passed, the court will not hear your case.
