- Counts
- Bites logged by Dallas Animal Services in a month, by the date of the bite: rows marked BITE in the city's Dog Bite Data file. Rows marked unverified, duplicate or anything else are not counted. The file has no column for the animal, so a bite by a cat or another animal counts too. Counted from January 2020, the first full year of the file.
- Why it is here
- Dallas Animal Services logs about nine hundred bites a month, and twelve hundred in May 2026.
- Cadence
- Monthly. The city posts bites within a day or two; a month prints seven days after it ends. Newest complete month Oct 2026. Read Nov 13, 06:40 UTC.
- Baseline
- The prior 24 months, 12 needed.

Resolution
- Index
- $BITE Animal bites in Dallas. Rulebook v0.2, 2026-10-04.
- Prints
- Monthly. The city posts bites within a day or two; a month prints seven days after it ends. The newest complete month is on the record after the daily proof at 12:40 UTC.
- As first published
Oct 2026 is not timestamped yet. The daily proof at 12:40 UTC adds it.
The number as first published is final for settlement. A revision by the source is shown beside it and never replaces it.
- Fallback
- A month prints seven days after it ends. If the file stops updating, the month stays open. A month the city never posts is void.
- Precision
- Whole rows with bite_type BITE, by bite date.
- Cost to move
- Hard to move on purpose. A logged bite follows a call and an officer's report.
- Grade
- display. Bites the city's officers log, not bites that happen: most never reach Animal Services. Shown, not settled on.
- For a rulebook
- Settle on the number Tickerz first recorded for $BITE for the month named in the contract, published at tickerz.com/x/bite and in GET /api/indices/bite, timestamped daily in Bitcoin with OpenTimestamps.
