Tex. Health & Safety Code § 828.008 · Chapter 828. DOG AND CAT STERILIZATION
NOTICE OF FAILURE TO RECEIVE LETTER.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
A releasing agency that does not receive a letter under Section 828.005, 828.006, or 828.007 before the expiration of the seventh day after the sterilization completion date agreed to under Section 828.002 shall cause a complaint to be filed against the new owner. It is a presumption under this law that the failure of the new owner to deliver to the releasing agency a signed letter as required under Section 828.005, 828.006, or 828.007 is the result of the new owner's refusal to have the adopted animal sterilized. The new owner may rebut this presumption at the time of the hearing with the proof required under the above-mentioned sections.
