No. Texas law forbids any county or city from regulating dogs by breed. Brazoria County and its cities may restrict declared dangerous dogs, but a rule cannot single out pit bulls or any specific breed.
Texas Health & Safety Code Sec. 822.047 lets a county or municipality add requirements on dangerous dogs only if those rules are not specific to one or several breeds and are more stringent than state law. This statewide preemption means Brazoria County cannot pass breed-specific legislation, and neither can Pearland, Lake Jackson, or Angleton. Regulation is behavior-based: a dog becomes a 'dangerous dog' after an unprovoked attack causing bodily injury, or acts making a person reasonably believe an attack is imminent (Sec. 822.041). Owners of declared dangerous dogs then face registration, secure restraint, and insurance duties regardless of breed.
Any breed-specific local ban is void under state preemption. Dangerous-dog enforcement follows Sec. 822.042: registration, restraint, $100,000 insurance, and possible court-ordered seizure.
