San Angelo bans no dog breed. Texas Health and Safety Code section 822.047 forbids any city from adopting breed-specific dangerous-dog rules, so pit bulls and other breeds are legal. Dangerous-dog control is behavior-based under Chapter 822.
Texas preempts breed bans: section 822.047 lets a city add dangerous-dog requirements only if they are not specific to one or several breeds. San Angelo accordingly has no breed ban, and no breed is illegal to own. A dog becomes a "dangerous dog" under section 822.041 through an unprovoked attack causing bodily injury or through threatening behavior, not through its breed. An owner then must register it, keep it leashed or in a secure enclosure, and carry at least $100,000 in liability coverage (section 822.042). San Angelo Animal Services enforces the process; HOA breed rules are private, not city law.
Failing to meet dangerous-dog requirements can lead to seizure and, after a serious attack, criminal charges ranging up to a felony under Chapter 822, plus the loss of the animal.
