ALEXANDER LAW :: TEXAS DOG BITE LAWYERS (animal-attack cornerstone) :: scope .jalex-dog -->\n<!-- Cloned from the Texas Amputation catastrophic page; CSS\/JS reused VERBATIM and rescoped to .jalex-dog (anim jalex-dog-mq). Structure, colors, fonts, sections identical. -->\n<!-- FLAGS before publish:\n   * URL SCHEME: built for the FLAT live pattern \/practice-areas\/dog-bite-lawyers\/ (matches the *-lawyers convention of the new pages; the nested \/catastrophic-injuries\/ hub REDIRECTS to the homepage and must not be used). The older nav used \/practice-areas\/dog-bite-attorney\/. Confirm the final slug, and 301-redirect the old \/dog-bite-attorney\/ URL to this one so the two do not compete. Fix breadcrumb link + the 3 schema\/breadcrumb URLs if the slug differs.\n   * CANNIBALIZATION: dog bites are governed by their OWN Texas rules (common-law \"one bite\"\/scienter + negligence + negligence per se for leash-law violations), NOT the premises-liability invitee\/licensee notice test. This page OWNS the dog-bite \/ animal-attack \/ one-bite-rule \/ homeowner-insurance angle. It links to premises-liability only as a SIBLING for the landlord\/property angle, not as a parent. Distinct search intent from the slip-and-fall and premises pages, so no cannibalization.\n   * LEGAL FRAMING IS FOR ATTORNEY SIGN-OFF: Texas has no general strict-liability dog-bite statute; liability rests on the \"one bite\" rule (owner knew or should have known the dog was dangerous), ordinary negligence, and negligence per se (violating a leash law or local ordinance). Confirm before publish. Minor victims' limitations may toll; stated cautiously.\n   * HERO IMAGE set to the new beware-of-dog \/ fence asset (Gemini_Generated_Image_578u0y578u0y578u.webp); <img src> and <link preload> are in sync (LCP). Confirm it is ~16:9 landscape so it does not letterbox.\n   * STAT figures are NATIONAL (CDC \/ insurance industry), NOT Texas-specific and NOT case values: roughly 4.5 million dog bites occur in the U.S. each year; about 800,000 require medical care; children are the most common victims; dog-bite claims are among the largest categories of homeowner liability payouts. Attorney\/editor to confirm exact figures and source links before publish.\n   * Marquee \"$36M+\" and \"75+ yrs\" carried from sibling pages; UNVERIFIED. Confirm or replace.\n   * Phone (469) 807-7480 matches sibling pages. Confirm. Sections 16.003 \/ 33.001 cited with authoritative links.\n   * INTERNAL LINKS use only confirmed-live sitemap URLs: premises-liability-lawyers (sibling), wrongful-death-lawyers, texas-traumatic-brain-injury-lawyers, texas-amputation-lawyers, bio pages, testimonials, contact-us. -->\n<link rel=\"preload\" as=\"image\" fetchpriority=\"high\"
