There are no breed bans in Nueces County. Texas law forbids breed-specific dog regulation: any additional local requirements on dangerous dogs must not target particular breeds. Enforcement focuses on a dog's behavior, not its breed, under Health & Safety Code Ch. 822.
Neither Nueces County nor Texas cities may ban pit bulls or any other breed. Health & Safety Code Section 822.047 lets a county or municipality add stricter dangerous-dog rules only if they are not breed-specific. "Dangerous dog" under Section 822.041 turns on an unprovoked attack or threatening acts, not breed. Corpus Christi's aggressive/dangerous-dog provisions are likewise behavior-based, applying to any dog regardless of breed.
A dog is regulated only after a behavior-based dangerous-dog determination under H&S 822; breed alone triggers no penalty.
