Unlike many Texas counties, unincorporated Guadalupe County has a countywide restraint rule: its Animal Control Ordinance makes it unlawful to let a dog run at large off the owner's property. Dogs must also be vaccinated for rabies at three months.
Guadalupe County adopted Animal Control Ordinance No. 0001 under Health and Safety Code Chapters 822 and 826. Section 5.01 requires every dog to be restrained whenever it is off the custodian's property or off private property where it has permission to be; letting a dog run at large is a Class C misdemeanor. Restraint means a leash or lead under a responsible person's control. The Sheriff's Office enforces it and may impound loose dogs, holding them 72 hours if unlicensed. The ordinance also requires rabies vaccination at three months and once every twelve months after.
Letting a dog run at large is a Class C misdemeanor. Loose dogs are impounded, held 72 hours (120 if licensed), with a $35 impound fee plus $15 per day boarding before release.
