Here is the state law, counties may have their own law for the county. What county did this happen in?
Sec. 821.077. UNLAWFUL RESTRAINT OF DOG.

(b) In this section, a restraint unreasonably limits a dog's movement if the restraint: (1) uses a collar that is pinch-type, prong-type, or choke-type or that is not properly fitted to the dog; (2) is a length shorter than the greater of: (A) five times the length of the dog, as measured from the tip of the dog's nose to the base of the dog's tail; or (B) 10 feet; (3) is in an unsafe condition; or (4) causes injury to the dog.
