§ 91.081 POSSESSION OF A DANGEROUS ANIMAL.

   (A)   Any dangerous animal may only be kept confined indoors, or in a secure, fenced kennel-type enclosure that is locked.

   (B)   The secure, fenced kennel-type enclosure must be:

      (1)   Designed to prevent the entry of children;

      (2)   Designed to prevent the animal from escaping;

      (3)   Have secure sides, top, and foundation that prevent burrowing or digging under; and

      (4)   Provide protection from the elements for the animal.

   (C)   When the dangerous animal is outside its enclosure, the animal must be under immediate control of a responsible adult with a restraint device and must also be muzzled. The muzzle shall be made in such a manner that it will not cause injury to the animal or interfere with its vision or respiration, but shall prevent it from biting any person or animal.
