Texas One Bite Rule
According to Texas’ “one bite” rule, a dog owner isn’t automatically liable for their animal’s violent actions the first time. The owner is only responsible if they have knowledge of the dog’s aggressive or vicious propensities. In other words, if an owner knows their dog has attacked someone in the past, they can be found negligent for not preventing a second or subsequent bite.
In a personal injury claim for a dog bite injury, the plaintiff must prove:
- The dog owner knew that their dog has shown aggressive behavior in the past or bit someone.
- The dog owner failed to use reasonable care to controlling the dog or prevent the dog from biting the victim.
