It’s unfortunately not at all surprising to see this crash allegedly involved drunk driving. That’s almost always the reason people get on the wrong side of the road—especially limited access highways. But as stark as those reported factors are, they don’t necessarily make things open-and-shut. Authorities might recommend charges for the alleged drunk driver, but could there be a negligent alcohol provider who also needs to be held responsible? Let me explain.

Alcohol providers in Texas have rules to follow, and breaking those rules means they can be held accountable. For example, in Texas, alcohol providers can be responsible for accidents if the intoxicated person who caused the crash was someone they unlawfully over-served. Bars, restaurants, liquor stores, gas stations—if someone refuses to cut off a person whose intoxication is a clear danger to themselves and others, the establishment can and should face consequences.

Too often, though, investigations into these crashes begin and end behind the wheel. Obviously, if someone makes the choice to get behind the wheel drunk, they should be held accountable. That’s especially true if people get hurt. But if a local alcohol provider benefited from unlawfully serving them alcohol and contributed to the resulting accident, why should they get away with that? Just because there’s a more immediately obvious “bad guy” to blame? That wouldn’t be right. And that’s not just my opinion—that’s Texas law.
