Commentary
After incidents like this, I often get questions about what kind of responsibility dog owners have to prevent attacks. Generally speaking, Texas has a "One Bite Rule." It essentially says that if it's the first time a dog has attacked someone, there's no responsibility. After all, even otherwise well-behaved animals can do something unpredictable.
However, after that first incident, it becomes a known issue. That means owners have a responsibility to ensure their animal isn't in a position to hurt anyone else. If they allow that to happen, they may end up being responsible. That's why it's important in these situations to determine if the animals had any known issues and if there was something that could have prevented the deadly attack.
