Fulshear's animal rules sit in Chapter 6 of the Code of Ordinances, addressing domestic animal restraint and impoundment within the city. Dogs in public must be under physical control of the handler, and at-large dogs may be impounded with reclaim fees and citations. Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 822 supplements local rules: Subchapter A covers dangerous dog procedures, and Sec. 821.077 prohibits unlawful tethering without proper shelter, water and adequate length. Dangerous dog determinations require owners to register, maintain $100,000 liability insurance, and confine the animal under Sec. 822.042. Fulshear contracts with Fort Bend County Animal Services for field response; complaints route through 281-342-1512 or Fulshear Police non-emergency 281-346-2202. Rabies vaccination is required statewide for dogs over four months.
