A person in Texas commits an offense if he or she is the owner of a dog and the person:
With criminal negligence, fails to keep the dog secured and the dog makes an unprovoked attack on another person, as long as it is at a location other than the owner’s real property or in the owner’s boat or automobile, and the attack causes serious bodily injury or death to the other person; or
Is aware that the dog is dangerous and the dangerous dog makes an unprovoked attack on another person, as long as it is at a location other than the owner’s real property or in the owner’s boat or automobile, and the attack causes serious bodily injury or death to the other person.
Under this section of the law, an offense is a third-degree felony unless the attack results in a fatality, in which case it is a second-degree felony.
If a person is found guilty of an offense according to this section of the law, the court may order the dog destroyed.
