When a crash like this involves a serious charge like intoxication manslaughter, it raises an important question that too often goes unanswered: Where did the alcohol come from? More often than not, once authorities identify a suspected drunk driver, the investigation stops there. But that only gives part of the picture.
Under Texas law, it’s illegal for alcohol providers — meaning bars, restaurants or any business with a liquor license — to serve someone who is obviously intoxicated. That’s not just a guideline; it’s enforceable through what’s known as dram shop law. When an alcohol provider breaks that rule and the person they overserved causes harm, the provider can be held accountable for their role in what happened.
At this point, authorities have said that alcohol was involved and that charges have been filed. That makes it all the more important to determine how the alleged drunk driver ended up in that condition in the first place. Was he coming from a bar or restaurant that served him too much? Did that provider ignore visible signs of intoxication?
From where I sit, a crash investigation isn’t complete until someone determines where the alleged drunk driver was drinking. That step is crucial, not just to help the victim’s loved ones get the full truth, but to make sure any business that contributed to this deadly crash doesn’t do it again.
