Authorities allege that the driver was under the influence of alcohol at the time. They haven’t said is where that alcohol may have come from, and that can be a crucial detail after someone is hurt in a serious accident. Texas law says negligent alcohol providers may be liable if their over-service leads to people being killed or injured. A lot of people think the only path forward for them is to a driver face charges, but there could be much more to the story than that. It’s simply a matter of whether or not anyone is actually investigating those other possible avenues.
