You can tell I'm country. I didn't even question that. It's pretty much the norm around here.

My dad always said "once a dog gets a taste of that chicken blood, he'll never stop killin chickens"
Don't know if that's true or not, but I've seen him shoot plenty of our own dogs once they killed a chicken.
That being said, in your case, I'd probably just call the pound.

Yes. We even have a garden. Crazy, huh?
Again, it's not a typical neighborhood. Houses are spread out and we each have about 1/2 acre.

So what is the law in Texas? I'm talking about catching it in the act. Not tracking down and three hours later cooting it. It would be hard for me to believe that in Texas you see a dog attacking a calf in the pasture and it's illegal to take action. Maybe it is IDK
It depends on the area...#1 is a collared or not...have you contacted the local sheriff? #2. If collared have to tried talking to the neighbors / owners about the animal. #3 are you allowed to have live stock in the residental area in which you live?
He has already talked to the neighbors and made them aware which is a good thing. Next I would call the local sheriff and discuss what his options are.

normal prey drive and tell the neighbor they owe you a chicken. call animal control. Dont shot the dog,

So if a dog is attacking a calf in the pasture you have to let it finish killing it while you go check collar and call sheriff?
Like I said, I am talking about catching it in the act. Not after damage is done and chicken is dead.

You should just try and sure up your coop and avoid a slew of future problems with the neighborhood.
fixing up the coop seems like something you will have to do anyways so just do it and there will be no more problems. City folks don't look at a dog killing like country folks do.
A country guy would be like,"I'm sorry you had to shoot my dog for killing your chickens."
City slick, "You murdered Mr Fluffy Face"
Time and place my brother. It may be time to shoot the mutt, but it aint the place.

In the act is different... and you can take the animals life in Texas.
But
He doesn't have cattle he doesn't live on a farm out in the country. He lives on half an acre in a residentail area. a chicken costs all of a bout 8 bucks. My point is go about dealing with it another way. It won't be worth it in the long run.

I think this is correct. Even though I think you would be in the right, no need to make tough relations with neighbors even worse over a chicken.

Electric fence around the outside of the coop so it won't shock your chickens, just animals that try to get in from outside.

This. Plus, you're kinda baiting the dog. You kill my dog in this situation and I promise you will lose all your chickens, any dogs you have and maybe your house.
Never know who you're f$%kn with.

Call the pound?

My biggest fear is that if this dog would break into my chicken pen and kill a chicken, will it ever be aggressive to kids?
Why don't you have them pay to replace your chicken?

Cause your dog has the right to break into a chicken coup repeatedly and kill chickens. Even after owner has asked you to keep it out and made other precautions to keep it out.
