Texas Pet Boarding
I want to start a Pet Boarding/daycare out of my home. I live in Texas, do I HAVE to be licensed or insured?
I only want to take in a few SMALL DOGS at one time. I plan on making it very professional; I just cannot seem to figure out if I need to be licensed through the state or if I must be insured/bonded.
Not that I'm not willing or even want to, just asking so I can know if I can start-up fast and then get the license & insurance if things go well. Just trying to save some initial overhead, that's all.
Thanks Lynn, that was a MATURE way to point the issue out to me. 
To be honest, I don't know the legal answer to your question. I suspect that you will have to have some sort of license, though, in order to make sure that you can take care of the animals.
As a pet owner (currently I am owned by three cats, but I've had dogs in the past), I would not be willing to trust my animals to anyone who DOESN'T have insurance, whether it's legally required or not. You might want to think about that for a while. The people who care about their pets will want the best of care, and those are the ones who will board their pets. The people who take a more casual approach are more likely to have someone drop by their house and throw a can of dog food in the back yard.
