The State of Texas agrees, and beginning Jan. 18, 2022 a new law will go into effect regarding unlawfully restraining dogs. Violating the law could lead to a Class C misdemeanor which carries up to a $500 fine and a second offense may result in 180 days in jail and a $2000 fine with a Class B misdemeanor.
Dogs will not allowed to be restrained on a chain, and it will be illegal to have weights attached and the collar or harness has to be properly fitted.
