Dog Bites on Private Property

Generally, dog bites on private property are only going to be successful against the dog owner or possessor in one of two ways. In Texas, there are three ways to win and hold somebody responsible, that being a dog owner or possessor in a dog bite case. However, one of those won’t apply and that one is negligence per se, usually a violation of an ordinance or a statute like a leash law, but obviously on private property there’s not going to be a leash law standard that has to be complied with. You’re looking at the two ways to win on private property being strict liability, which means the dog had propensities that were abnormal to its class and the owner possessor knew or should have known about those. The other way to win a dog bite or attack case on private property is by showing that the owner or possessor negligently handled the animal, that being they handled it in a way that a reasonably prudent owner or possessor would not have in the same or similar circumstances.
