Dangerous Dogs
Fort Bend County has adopted regulations regarding animal control based on what is allowed by the Texas Health and Safety Code. These regulations apply only to unincorporated portions of Fort Bend County. Cities have their own regulations/ordinances. Assistant County Attorneys provide guidance to law enforcement and Animal Services when reports are received regarding potential dangerous dogs.
Eminent Domain

Eminent domain is the legal authority that certain entities are granted that allows those entities to take private property for a public use. Private property can include land and certain improvements that are on that property.

Private property may only be taken by a governmental entity or private entity that is authorized by law to do so. Your property may be taken only for a public purpose. That means it can only be taken for a purpose or use that serves the general public. Texas law prohibits condemnation authorities from taking your property to enhance tax revenues or foster economic development.

Your property cannot be taken without adequate compensation. Adequate compensation includes the market value of the property being taken. It may also include certain damages if your remaining property’s market value is diminished by the acquisition itself or by the way the condemning entity will use the property.
