You may be pleased to know that Texas is contemplating mandatory insurance on any dog over 40 pounds...............................That’s the first I heard of that. If that happens many dogs will be abandoned.
You’ve got that right. According to HB 1982, and dog over 40lbs can be declared ‘vicious’ without leaving it’s yard, biting anyone, or doing anything more unusual than barking at the fence. They can be declared vicious because of it’s ‘physical nature’, or the potential capability of causing injury or death.
Dogs over 40 pounds must be contained within secure enclosures in cities populated by more than 1 million people, etc.
