What happens if a dog not previously regarded as dangerous bites me?

Most owners believe that their dogs are not dangerous. However, Texas courts will apply the “strict liability” rule in cases where the dog is known to be dangerous. A dog which has bitten a person, will be classified as dangerous, even if no harm or injury was reported.

But even if the dog did not have a history, there are times when you can hold the owner or others responsible for the injuries claimed. You need to talk to a lawyer who can determine whether any of these situations apply to your claim.
