Generally, the time for which to file a civil claim for damages from a dog bite in Texas is two years. This is commonly referred to as the Statute of Limitations. Texas follows the “One Bite Rule” of general negligence requiring that the dog owner: (1) knew the dog had bitten someone in the past or acted aggressively; or (2) was negligent in controlling the dog or preventing the bite from occurring and this negligence caused the plaintiff’s injuries. However, if the bite was caused by a “Dangerous Dog,” there may be “Strict Liability” and you may be able to recover damages by showing that the dog was known to be dangerous. The categorization of “Dangerous Dog Breeds” is relevant:
Texas law can also impose criminal penalties and a dog owner may be charged with a felony if: the owner “with criminal negligence” fails to secure the dog, and the dog attacks someone, unprovoked, at a location away from the owner’s real or personal property, or; the owner knows the dog is a “dangerous dog” and the dog attacks someone, unprovoked, outside its own secure enclosure, and; either of these situations causes serious bodily injury or death.

At this time of year, we want to take a moment to reflect and give thanks. This preface to the liturgy that is given in churches the world over is so beautiful and representative of how we truly feel:
May The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God. It is right to give him thanks and praise. It is right, and a good and joyful thing, . . .
We have so much to be thankful for this year at the Scutt Law, PLLC family. As we approach the holiday season with Thanksgiving and Christmas being right around the corner, we would like to take time and share what we are thankful for over the last few years. There are so many wonderful people that showed up to help us when they had no reason–and we want to make sure that they know how much we value that help. This list includes family, friends, doctors, and strangers that showed up at just the right time to lend a hand.
We look forward to sharing with you throughout November and the holiday season how thankful we are with stories and pictures. It took all of our energy to stay focused on getting to the other side of these tough medical issues. Our focus was putting all of our energy into getting these problems solved. Now that we have a moment to reflect, we want to show you where we have been over the last few years.
Halloween is almost here! I’m looking forward to all the trick or treaters and creative costumes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has teamed up with local officials to put out the message that “Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving.” It can be a fun night, but here is a scary statistic: from 2013-2017, 42% of fatalities on Halloween were caused by drunk drivers (NHTSA).
NHTSA’s message is that even one alcoholic beverage could be one too many for some drivers. Drivers on Halloween share the road that night with cars and many pedestrians (including lots of little people). Be safe and hand the keys off to a sober driver, cab, or ride share —buzzed driving is drunk driving.
