In Sugar Land, Texas, the law pertaining to vicious dogs is found in Section 3-38 of the city’s ordinances regarding vicious animals:
In the interest of the safety of the public, peace officers and animal control officers may destroy a vicious animal found running at large.
The owner of a vicious dog or other animal may be ordered by the animal services manager to permanently remove the animal from Sugar Land. There are ten days in which to appeal the order and it must be in writing to the municipal court. While the appeal is pending, the animal must either be restrained in a manner acceptable to the animal services manager or it must be removed from the city. Upon hearing the appeal, the court may uphold, modify, or reverse the order and might stipulate certain restrictions as a condition to allowing the animal to remain in the city. If the order to remove the vicious animal is upheld, the owner may not bring the animal back inside the city limits of Sugar Land.
Once the owner has been ordered to remove a vicious dog or other animal, if the owner fails to remove the animal, it may be impounded or humanely euthanized.
If the owner of a vicious animal relocates the animal, the animal services manager must be informed in writing within ten days. Each day the letter is not provided after it is due constitutes a separate violation and a separate offense.
The animal services manager of Sugar Land has the authorization to obtain a search and seizure warrant if:
A vicious dog or other animal has not been removed, in spite of a court order; or
A vicious animal is involved in a bite incident or is suspected of having rabies or any other zoonotic disease and the owner fails to surrender the animals either for humane euthanasia or for quarantine.
