I received a summons from an Animal Control Officer. How much will the fine be?
Contact the City of Longview Municipal Court at 237-1175 to determine the amount of the fine. Remember, you have ten (10) days from the date the summons was given to you to respond to the Municipal Court. Q: When do I have to vaccinate my dog/cat against rabies? A: Local Ordinance requires that the owner or custodian (excluding animal shelters) of each domestic dog or cat shall have the animal vaccinated against rabies before four months of age and within each subsequent 12-month interval (annually) thereafter. The vaccination must be administered by a licensed veterinarian. Failure to vaccinate your dog or cat against rabies can result in a fine and/or summons to Municipal Court. Remember, vaccinating your pets is your familys first line of defense against rabies. Your pets are more likely to have contact with a wild animal than you.
