Texas Health & Safety Code 822.047 prohibits any Texas city or county from regulating dogs based on breed. Local breed bans against pit bulls, Rottweilers, or other breeds are unenforceable in every Texas municipality.
Under Texas Health & Safety Code Section 822.047, a county or municipality may place additional requirements on the ownership of a dangerous dog only if the requirements are not breed-specific. This means Texas cities and counties cannot ban, restrict ownership of, or impose extra rules on dogs simply because they are pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, or any other breed. Local rules must instead focus on individual dog behavior. Owners across Texas may keep any breed, though dangerous-dog laws still apply once a specific dog has bitten or attacked.
There are no breed-based violations in Texas. Local breed bans are void; enforcement focuses on individual dangerous-dog determinations and bite history.
