GC Fiscal Court, after irresponsible dog owners scoff at keeping their animals ‘put up,’ considers vicious dog ordinance
December 16, 2020
After some residents of Grayson County have refused to control their aggressive, sometimes vicious dogs, Grayson County Fiscal Court is now considering an ordinance deeming it illegal to not take control of dogs that enter other people’s property or the roadway, thereby creating dangerous conditions.
“We have a problem in the county,” County Attorney Jeremy Logsdon said at Tuesday’s Fiscal Court meeting. “My goal here, working with (Judge-Executive) Kevin (Henderson) and other people, was to try and find a specific answer through an ordinance. What I’m talking about is a problem, that since I’ve been in office for almost two years, which I don’t think this is a new problem, is aggressive dogs on peoples’ property and out in the roadway.”
