Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas
Three dogs attacted my family
My mother and my two boys were walking our two dogs when three Pit Bulls came charging after them. my mom was able to get my boys and the bigest dog in the house but the other three dogs picked up my T cup poodle and shacked her like a rag dall she was so heart so bad we had to put her to sleep. The also bit my mother on both of her hands when she tryed to get my dog away. We did call the city and made a report. And my mom did go and get a shot. but now we do not know what else to do we would like for the owner to pay for what there dogs did to my mom and my dog. Also the three dogs were so skinny you can see there ribs. I dont think they were taken care of. Will someone please let me know what else we can do for the owner to pay for there dogs actions. Thank You

You should hire a lawyer to help you pursue this action. If you prefer to do it yourself, you can file a lawsuit against the owner(s) in JP court.

First of all, I'm sorry for the trauma you experienced. My family experienced a similar loss just this same weekend, when one of our cats was mauled by a neighbor's dog. I concur with Mr. Merrill's advice, above: contact local police / animal control for criminal actions. You do, however, likely have a civil case against the owners as well. I am currently planning my strategy regarding my situation and would be happy to assist you with yours as well. If you choose other counsel, I wish you the best of luck.

Pursue with police or local district attorney for punishment of owner..and care for three dogs/ but we would be happy to help with the damage cclaim..the owner's homeowner insurance would pay for the trauma and injury to your mother. Call today so we can get the facts..
