Texas Cities are Horrible About Dog Bites to USPS Workers

Years ago, it used to be somewhat of a joke, when the dog chases the postal worker, but we are finding out that it’s still a huge hazard for postal workers here in Texas. It’s been made so many jokes on televisions shows or on movies, but the U.S. Postal Service recently released its annual dog bite rankings and Texas didn’t do very well on the list. 

According to the annual report Texas is the 2nd worst state in the country when it comes to letter carriers being bitten by dogs. California is the only state in the country that ended up having more dog bites on postal workers. But Texas seems to be getting worse when it comes to dogs attacking USPS employees. In 2022, there were 404 incidents in Texas, and last year that number increased to 411. No one should have to go to work worrying about getting bitten by a dog.
