Draggingtree Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Texas Supreme Court Rules on Who Owns Dog by Jordan Rudner April 1, 2016 7Comments A three-year legal fight over a German shepherd named Monte Carlo was resolved by the the Texas Supreme Court Friday in a case that may sound like an April Fool's joke but was anything but a laughing matter for those involved. The court ruled unanimously that a Houston family did not forfeit their ownership claims over their dog even though he had been picked up by local animal control and transferred to a foster home. Nothing in Houston's ordinances “states or implies that a dog merely held by a private shelter, awaiting adoption, has been divested of the ownership rights of the original owner,” the justices stated in an unsigned opinion. http://www.texastribune.org/2016/04/01/texas-supreme-court-rules-on-who-owns-dog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
