Stupid Texas Law

Sometimes I wonder whether our elected officials really have anything between their ears or not.  Today, my stepdaughter was bitten by her own dog.  Happens all the time.  Well, the dog broke the skin.  My stepdaughter has MS so she went to the doctor to have it checked out.  Turns out we have a law on the books that says that the doctor has to call the cops.  He did.  The cops showed up, informed her the dog has to go into quarentine and not at her vets.  Her vet is in another county.  Her dog, 12 years old and almost blind, has to be taken to the animal shelter.  This will cost her $125, which she does not have.  The dog has had all shots and has never been behind on shots.  Doesn't matter.  So what is the point of keeping records for the shots if we are going to get stiffed anyway?  The cops took the dog to a shelter that is already full, is underfunded by the two towns and county that use it, and puts animals down after 72 hours.  Where is this?  Bryan, Texas.
