Texas New Pet Laws Now In EFFECT, What You Need To Know
On September 1, the state of Texas built over 500 new laws for the state. A lot of these laws may seem very overwhelming, but the reality of it is, that Texas will have to obey these rules, or there will be consequences for any Texans' actions who think otherwise.

NEW LAWS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR YOUR PETS HERE IN TEXAS, HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
According to KHOU11, even if you are on a furry companion, you could find yourself needing to take another into consideration as well. these particular laws have definitely affected schools, elections, drivers, and most importantly pet protections, specifically approved for animals and they all go into effect today in puppy mills here in Texas. At one point, owning a mill for puppies was 11 and you had to be licensed. Now, if you have five or more female dogs you have to have a license for this particular number, as of now.
BUT WAIT.... THERE'S MORE PET LAWS HERE IN TEXAS
Another law was made in Texas in regards to misrepresenting their dogs as service animals when they’re not specially trained. There is now in the state of Texas going to be an increase in the fine for $300-$1000. Last but not least, a person previously convicted of animal cruelty can have any pet for a period of five years after conviction. We asked Texans to please make sure to take each one of these laws in regards to your animal, very seriously because the consequences are here to stay.
