Dog owners are responsible for the actions and behavior of their canine companions. However, if an owner is aware that their dog is dangerous, possesses a propensity to be vicious, and fails to protect others from the dog’s attacks, he or she is liable for any injuries or even deaths caused by their pet.

If you have suffered a serious injury after being bitten or attacked by a dog in Texas, it is imperative to seek qualified legal assistance to recover your entitled damages. Since 1998, Attorney Ruben Ortiz has helped countless clients recover their compensation in personal injury matters, including dog bites.

Texas Dog Bite Law

Texas is a “one bite rule” or “negligence” state with regards to dog bites. To recover damages for a dog bite, the injured individual must demonstrate that the dog’s owner knew the dog had bitten someone before or had acted aggressively in the past, and the dog’s owner was negligent in controlling the dog or preventing the bite from happening, and that negligence resulted in injury. Texas’s statute of limitations provides a two-year window to file this type of personal injury lawsuit in the state’s civil court system.
