Brownsville does not impose breed-specific bans. Texas state law does not preempt local breed-specific legislation, but Brownsville focuses on dangerous dog determinations based on individual behavior.
Brownsville does not ban specific dog breeds. The city follows Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 822 for dangerous dog determinations, which classifies dogs based on individual behavior (attacks, bites, aggressive conduct). Owners of declared dangerous dogs must meet requirements including secure enclosures, warning signs, and liability insurance. Texas law also regulates 'dangerous wild animals' separately.
Owners of declared dangerous dogs who fail to meet requirements face fines and potential criminal charges under state law.
