Pasadena does not have breed-specific legislation. Texas state law (TX Health & Safety Code Ch. 822) governs dangerous dogs statewide based on behavior, not breed. Dogs declared dangerous must be registered and restrained.
Pasadena does not ban or restrict any specific dog breeds. Texas state law under Health & Safety Code Chapter 822 establishes a statewide dangerous dog framework based on behavior rather than breed. A dog that makes an unprovoked attack causing bodily injury may be declared dangerous by a court. Owners of dangerous dogs must register the animal, maintain specific enclosure requirements, and carry $100,000 in liability insurance or a $100,000 surety bond per TX Health & Safety Code Sec. 822.042. Pasadena Animal Control handles dangerous dog investigations. All dogs must be restrained by fence or leash under Chapter 6.
Dangerous dog violations under TX Health & Safety Code: Class C misdemeanor up to $500. Attack causing serious injury: felony.
