An accusation of animal abuse in Texas is a serious charge. If you’ve been accused of abusing livestock or a pet animal, you need help from a criminal defense lawyer in Houston. The laws protecting animals in Texas are complex and challenging to understand. In some cases, a conviction of an animal abuse crime can bring a harsher sentence than your action merits. It’s important to know that Texas animal cruelty laws protect only wild animals in the care or control of a facility or domesticated animals.
