Is there any information addressing this issue that I can use or give to my neighbor?

...and this is in Texas where she is leaving this little one outside?
I would give her a visit from the local animal police is what I would give her. That is neglect in its cruelest form. I would sit her down and explain that this is not proper care period.
Then I would do whatever needed to be done to get that little one a proper home.
