Texas does not ban specific dog breeds. Lillian’s Law (HSC Ch. 822) is behavior-based. Dangerous dog designations based on individual dog’s actions.
Texas does not have breed-specific legislation. Lillian’s Law (TX Health & Safety Code Ch. 822) governs dangerous dogs based on behavior, not breed. A dog that makes an unprovoked attack causing serious injury may be declared dangerous. Owners of dangerous dogs must meet strict containment, insurance, and registration requirements. Cities cannot ban specific breeds. HOA breed restrictions may exist in CC&Rs but are not city code.
Dangerous dog violations: Class C misdemeanor to third-degree felony depending on severity. Containment failure: $500+.
