🐾 MYTH vs. FACT: The "One Bite Rule" in Texas

Many people believe a dog gets "one free bite" before the owner can be held responsible.

That's not exactly how Texas law works.

The "One Bite Rule" is a legal doctrine that focuses on whether a dog owner knew—or reasonably should have known—that their dog had dangerous or aggressive tendencies. Liability isn't determined simply by whether it's the dog's first bite.

Every dog bite case is unique, and understanding your rights can make a significant difference in protecting your health, finances, and future.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a dog attack, speaking with an experienced attorney can help you understand your options.
