Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When I read about incidents like this one, what stands out to me isn’t just what happened, but what’s missing from the conversation. We often hear about the charges filed and the people hurt, but rarely do we hear about what led up to the moment of impact, especially when alcohol is involved. If the allegations of intoxication are accurate, that raises an important but under-asked question: Where did the driver get their alcohol?
One of the core ideas behind Texas dram shop law is that alcohol providers — like bars, restaurants or convenience stores — have a legal duty not to serve obviously intoxicated individuals. When they ignore that responsibility, the results can be serious, not just for the person who drank, but for anyone else they encounter. If the driver in this case was overserved at a licensed business before the crash, that business may share responsibility for what happened. Texas law gives injured parties the right to explore that possibility.
It may be surprising, but in many drunk driving crash investigations, authorities lack the resources and support necessary to investigate where the alleged drunk driver was drinking prior to the crash. That’s where dram shop law comes in. It exists to help people get answers, to understand whether this was a simple case of personal recklessness, or whether someone else enabled that recklessness for profit.
Takeaways for Those Seeking Accountability:
- Dram shop laws exist to hold alcohol providers accountable when they overserve someone who is clearly intoxicated.
- In crashes involving alleged drunk driving, it’s critical to ask where the alcohol came from and whether it was served responsibly.
- Most people don’t realize they have legal tools available to investigate these questions, but Texas law makes that possible.
