Increasingly, homeowners insurance is excluding liability for bites or attacks by certain breeds of dogs. At one time, there was an adage that all dogs were entitled to "one free bite", but that is no longer the case.
One of the things that you may wish to do is to check in the Excess & Surplus Lines market where the underwriting guidelines may be somewhat more flexible.

How do you notify a homeowners insurance carrier of a dangerous dog?
You don't. If you are concerned about a dog in your neighborhood, it is better to try to prevent any possible injuries by calling the local dog warden. If you call the "homeowner insurance carrier", it is obvious that your only concern is in intervening in that homeowner's private insurance contract and that can get you into trouble and will not improve the safety in your neighborhood.

What insurance will cover dog bites?
I am a licensed insurance agent; licensed in 45 states for 16 years. I sell animal liability insurance and have extensive insurance experience. First, a dog bite will never be covered if you buy insurance AFTER the bite has occurred. Second, you should always have a renter's insurance policy or homeowner's insurance policy, regardless of whether or not you own a dog. If your dog has no prior bite history, you will probably have coverage for a dog bite in the future. But you should always read your policy to be certain that coverage for animals or coverage for certain breeds of dog are not excluded. Third, if your dog cannot be covered by your renter's insurance or homeowner's insurance; you can always buy animal liability insurance to cover such unfortunate events.
How do you have a dog declared dangerous in Texas?
In order to have a dog declared dangerous, you should contact your local animal control office. Generally, they require you to file a sworn affidavit identifying the dog in question and stating what it has done to warrant being identified as a "dangerous dog." Once you have instigated the proceedings in this manner, an Animal Control Officer (ACO) reviews the case and, if your affidavit meets the statutory definition of dangerous dog. If so, the officer conducts and investigation to determine whether there are grounds to declare the dog dangerous. If the ACO believes grounds are present, a hearing is set before a Hearings Officer to decide the case If the Hearing Officer determines the dog has attacked someone and caused serious injury, he may declare the dog dangerous and order it put down. He may also order that the dog owners be required to comply with the State dangerous dog laws and show proof of insurance required there under.
