Animal laws get new teeth

MARBLE FALLS — A comprehensive overhaul of the city’s animal-control ordinance now has the teeth authorities need to make the community safer for pets and residents, officials said.

The revisions, which address issues ranging from dangerous dogs to keeping bees and livestock, have been needed for years, said City Manager Ralph Hendricks. They include new guidelines for citations and fines.

“We believe the changes will make a safer community for our citizens and their pets,” Hendricks said
