Texas Law: Dog Bite in Beeville

Texas applies a negligence standard for dog bites, requiring proof that the owner knew or should have known the dog was dangerous and failed to exercise reasonable care (the modified "one-bite" rule). Prior aggressive behavior, violation of leash ordinances, and breed-specific behavior can establish knowledge. The two-year statute of limitations (§ 16.003) applies. Under Tex. Health & Safety Code Chapter 822, local authorities can declare a dog "dangerous" after a bite, which strengthens future claims. Comparative fault (Chapter 33) applies — if you were teasing or provoking the dog, your recovery may be reduced. Homeowner's/renter's insurance typically covers dog bite liability.
