West Texas Town Passes New Dog Ordinance
This week the Midland, Texas City Council adopted a new ordinance that requires the owners of “dangerous dogs” to purchase $1 million in liability insurance. The new ordinance is a four-fold increase from the $250,000 policy requirement of recent years. The City’s Animal Services director is responsible for identifying dangerous dogs and does so after an investigation. Of note, the measure passed unanimously.
Dog ordinances are becoming more common for one simple reason: dog bites are more frequent, too. Dog bites – which most often injure children – can change lives forever!
