Texas prohibits breed-specific legislation under TX H&SC 822.047. Travis County cannot ban specific breeds. Dangerous dog determinations are behavior-based under Lillian Law (TX H&SC 822.041-0425).
TX H&SC 822.047 preempts cities and counties from regulating dogs based on breed. Any dog declared dangerous after a serious bite incident faces restraint and insurance requirements under Lillian Law, regardless of breed. Travis County follows state law exclusively.
