According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, there were 24,132 dog bite reports in Texas in 2021. Of these, 1,761 resulted in injuries requiring medical attention. The most common injuries were lacerations (55%), puncture wounds (25%), and bruises (20%).

The majority of dog bites occur with children being the most common victims. Children under the age of 10 are more likely to be bitten by a dog than any other age group.

There are a number of factors that can contribute to dog bites, including:

• The dog’s breed
• The dog’s size
• The dog’s temperament
• The dog’s training
• The dog’s environment
• The victim’s behavior

If you are bitten by a dog, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Even if the bite does not seem serious, it is important to have it checked out by a doctor. Dog bites can become infected and can lead to serious health problems.

If you are the victim of a dog bite, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the dog owner. The amount of damages you can recover will depend on the severity of your injuries and the negligence of the dog owner.
