Live Oak does not impose breed-specific restrictions, which Texas state law Health and Safety Code 822.047 prohibits, but dangerous-dog rules apply to any individually declared dog regardless of breed.
Texas Health and Safety Code 822.047 prohibits Texas cities, including Live Oak, from regulating dogs based on breed alone. As a result, Live Oak has no pit-bull ban, no rottweiler ban, and no other breed-specific legislation. However, the city fully enforces dangerous-dog provisions under Chapter 822: any dog that has attacked a person or another animal without provocation can be declared dangerous and subject to mandatory insurance, secure enclosure, and registration. Owners of declared-dangerous dogs must also comply with muzzle requirements in public. Insurance companies and landlords may still impose breed restrictions independently of the city.
