Public Notice – Pets
August 17, 2026

City Ordinance 95.15 requires pet owners are to register their pet with the city yearly; you are also required to have your pet up to date on the rabies vaccination City ordinance 95.38.
Due to the overwhelming number of pets in the city, we are giving pet owners the opportunity to get up to date. We are allowing all owners from now until October 1st, 2026, to get registered and proper vaccinations. After that citations will be written to owners.
City Ordinance Dog running loose 95.01/95.19 has also been a problem. Be sure your pet is properly cared for and put in your yard. This is grounds for immediate citation and a constant issue among neighbors. Under Texas law, feeding a stray or feral animal establishes “custody,” which legally assigns responsibility for the animal’s health, safety, and welfare under Texas Penal Code Section 42.092 (Cruelty to Non-livestock Animals) and equivalent livestock statutes. Once you feed or control an animal, you can be held liable for its care or face abandonment/neglect charges if you stop providing for it.
