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
