If evidence does show alcohol was a factor here, then there could be a lot more to this crash than what’s currently known to the public. It’s not always as simple as a driver getting a day in court. It can also expand to include local businesses if they illegally over-served the driver. Servers can face criminal charges, businesses can face liability in the civil courts, and they can also face fines, license suspensions, and even closure through TABC actions. It’s not clear if that all happened here, but that’s going to depend on more thorough investigations than what I’ve seen so far.
