Laredo does not ban any dog breeds. Texas Health and Safety Code 822.047 prohibits breed-specific legislation at the local level. Dangerous-dog determinations are behavior-based under Lillian Law.
Texas state law under TX Health and Safety Code 822.047 prohibits cities and counties from passing breed-specific bans. Laredo, like all Texas municipalities, cannot restrict pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, or any breed by name. Instead, individual dogs can be declared dangerous under Chapter 822 based on documented attacks or unprovoked aggression. Dangerous dog designations bring strict containment, liability insurance minimums of 100,000 dollars, and microchipping requirements. Insurance companies and landlords may still impose breed restrictions privately, which state law does not override.
