Upcoming Events

We are pleased to announce our 2024 “Laws for Paws” Symposium in partnership with Texas Unites! 

We’re thrilled to also welcome special guest Chris Green, Executive Director for Animal Legal Defense Fund, as our keynote speaker! 

This symposium is for anyone seeking to gain a more profound knowledge of Texas and federal animal laws and promote positive change for animals.

Sessions will address trending issues such as service dogs. Participants will also learn how to help advance local animal laws and learn about an animal welfare court. The day will end with an exciting moot court presentation for those who testify in animal cruelty cases on behalf of the prosecution.

Classes include updates on service & emotional support animals, the Texas Civil and Criminal Seizure laws, employment issues surrounding shelter professionals and volunteers, trends in federal animal protection laws, updates to the licensed dog & cat breeder law, “Ask an Animal Attorney” and how to pass an animal bill.

Registration deadline was April 5th. Registrations after this date are subject to a $10 late fee. Click here to register!

Laws for Paws has been approved for 7.25 hours of continuing legal education (Texas Bar) and continuing education (DSHS).
