Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When authorities suspect intoxication in a head-on crash like this one, it’s natural for public attention to focus on the possibly intoxicated driver. But if it’s eventually confirmed that alcohol played a role, the full story might be more complex than it seems at first glance. Texas law allows for a deeper look—not just at the behavior of the driver, but at how and where they may have obtained the alcohol in the first place.
That’s because not all alcohol-related crashes start and end with one person making a bad decision. Sometimes, a bar or other alcohol provider keeps serving someone who is already obviously intoxicated. If that happened here, it wouldn’t just be reckless—it would be a violation of Texas dram shop law. But that kind of conduct usually only comes to light through independent investigations, since authorities often get tunnel vision once they have a reckless driver to focus their efforts on.
If alcohol was indeed a factor in this crash, it could signal a broader failure that goes beyond a single intoxicated driver. After all, if a local alcohol provider is complicit in a serious accident, they, too, should answer for those actions. That kind of accountability matters—not just for the people directly affected, but to ensure that alcohol providers take their responsibilities seriously before another preventable crash occurs.
Key Takeaways:
- If alcohol contributed to this crash, the next question should be where and how the driver obtained it.
- Dram shop law allows for accountability when a provider serves someone who is obviously intoxicated and they go on to cause harm.
- A full investigation could uncover a pattern of overservice—something criminal charges alone won’t address.
