San Antonio lawmakers are taking notice of the dangerous dog problem in the city and the state, and have filed three bills to better protect the public.
The filings come after a dog attack two weeks ago that killed 81-year-old Ramon Najera Jr., and injured his wife and multiple others on Depla Street.
“It’s a tragedy. We want to do everything that we can with the state government as well as local animal care services to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Mayor Ron Nirenberg said. Nirenberg said the city is looking for ways to protect the public when it comes to dangerous dogs as well as compliance issues with neighbors.
“If there are a number of calls -- animal care, code compliance, police calls to a particular house where it’s evident the neighbor is being negligent or being reckless with the community around them, we want to be able to flag that and prevent incidents from happening in the future,” Nirenberg said.
