License and rabies tag: most cities require a dog license and current rabies vaccination. Keep the tags on your dog's collar.
Leash rules: many cities require dogs to be leashed in public, with off-leash allowed only in posted dog areas. Check the leash length limit too.
Waste: picking up after your dog is required almost everywhere, and fines apply.
Limits: ordinances often cover barking, the number of dogs per home, and dogs left in hot cars or tied up outdoors.

For the exact rules in Rockwall, read the city's animal ordinance or ask local animal control: municipal code library · search the Rockwall dog ordinance · Rockwall on the map. Dote does not give legal advice, and rules change, so confirm with the city.
