TYLER, TX (KLTV) – [...]A group of East Texans are pushing for a state-
wide ban on Pit Bulls, and a first draft of the legislation will be
presented to state senators on Friday.[...]

Kent also said if a ban is not enacted, a provision would allow people
to own Pit Bulls only if they’re kept secure.

“We are talking about 8 foot fences, covered on the top that go one
foot into the ground. Secure locks, so children can’t get into them,”
Kent said.[...]

Kent said she will present the first draft of the legislation to State
Senator Eltife and State Representative Hopson on Friday.
