Commentary by Michael Grossman
If the allegations here are true, did authorities ever look into where the drunk driver got their alcohol? In Texas, there's often a complicit bar or other establishment who unlawfully over-served the drunk driver. That can mean that both the drunk driver and the provider who over-served them need to be held accountable. But that only happens if investigations are thorough enough to dig beyond the crash scene. If that never happened here, it's possible authorities never got the full story.
