House Bill 3340 amends the Health and Safety Code to establish that any order to destroy a dangerous dog is stayed for a period of 10 calendar days from the date the order is issued, during which period the dog's owner may file a notice of appeal. The bill clarifies that a justice court is subject to the prohibition against a court ordering the destruction of a dangerous dog during the pendency of an appeal.
