Animals Running At-large

In cases where the Animal Service Officer does not witness the violation, the City suggests the following actions:

  1. Talk to the owner of the animal. The owner may not realize the animal is creating a problem.
  2. Send a certified letter (return receipt requested) to the owner stating the problem.
  3. Swear a complaint with the Municipal Court, located at 285 Uptown Blvd, Building 100. To contact the Municipal Court by phone, please call (469) 272-2930.
