What the City asks of owners

Keeping an animal in the city limits

Animals at large

A dog or cat off its owner's property has to be under restraint. An animal picked up at large is impounded, and the owner pays the impound cost.

A dangerous dog

A dog that has attacked can be declared dangerous, which carries registration, confinement and liability insurance requirements under state law.

Noise

A persistently barking animal is a nuisance complaint. Report it to the police non-emergency line, with the address and the times.

Rabies vaccination

Texas requires every dog and cat over four months old to be vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian.
