Here in Texas, the state legislature meets every other year for six months. This is the only time to pass a law, otherwise Texas citizens and their animals have to wait an additional two years in order to try again. While THLN will be back at the Capitol in 2021 with the Adequate Shelter & Restraint bill, you can help chained dogs in your municipality NOW. The THLN Tethering Toolkit is a great way to start making positive changes for the chained dogs in your neighborhood.
