While pit bulls have been responsible for the great majority of these cases, with the Rottweiler as a distant second culpable breed, we hesitate to target the dogs as the culprits in these fatalities. Rather, as dog bite attorneys in the state of Texas, we believe most of these incidents have occurred as a result of owner negligence and want to help you bring these people to justice in any way we can.

Do You Know About One Bite Rule?

Texas follows a modified version of the “one-bite rule” for dog bites. The crux of the rule is the owner’s awareness of their dog’s potential for danger. If the dog has a history of biting or acting aggressively, and the owner knew or should have known about it, they can be held strictly liable for any future attacks. This means the owner is responsible for damages regardless of their actions to prevent the bite.

For the one-bite rule to apply, the victim (or their lawyer) must establish that the owner knew about the dog’s dangerous tendencies. This could involve evidence of previous bites, documented aggression, or the breed’s reputation for being dangerous.
