Texas Uses the “One Bite Rule”

Texas generally follows the “one bite rule,” meaning:

• Owners may not be automatically liable for a first bite
• Liability often depends on whether the owner knew the dog was dangerous

When Owners Can Be Held Responsible

A dog owner may be liable if:

• The dog previously showed aggression
• The owner failed to properly restrain the dog
• Local leash laws were violated

Common Injuries From Dog Attacks

• Puncture wounds
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Infections
• Emotional trauma

Why These Cases Can Be Difficult

Insurance companies often argue:

• The victim provoked the dog
• The owner had no prior warning
• The injuries are not severe
