Your dog bite attorney will instruct you about Texas law. In Texas, liability flows from the "one bite rule. This legal rule simply means that liability for an animal attack is only imputed if

• The animal owner know that his dog bit someone before, or had a high likelihood to bite someone

• The attack was caused by negligent animal care

• The owner intentionally sent the dog to attack

• The owner violated animal control laws

Under Texas law, liability may also be found if the owner was in violation of an animal related safety statute. This theory of negligence requires that the owner of the dog

• Broke the law

• The law broken was aimed to prevent the attack

• There was no reasonable excuse for the owner to break the law

This concept is called negligence per se in Texas.
