Commentary
When a mid-day crash sends two people to the hospital and authorities allege alcohol was involved, the public’s attention often lands squarely on the impaired driver. But that’s only one part of the story. If someone was seriously injured, the next question should be: Was the driver over-served by an alcohol provider while already obviously intoxicated?
That question sits at the heart of Texas dram shop law. The law is clear: alcohol providers must not continue serving patrons who show signs of obvious intoxication. That responsibility isn’t just about limiting liability—it’s about protecting the public. When it’s ignored, the risk extends far beyond the bar or restaurant. It can follow someone onto the interstate, with serious consequences.
Yet, in most cases like this one, that angle is never explored unless someone knows to look into it. Law enforcement may address the crash and recommend charges, but they rarely trace the alcohol back to its source. Without a deeper investigation, any role that an alcohol provider may have played remains in the background.
So while legal proceedings may focus on the driver and the collision, real accountability may require asking what happened earlier in the day—and whether someone else helped create the conditions that led to this crash.
Three key takeaways:
- Texas law prohibits alcohol providers from over-serving patrons who are obviously intoxicated, recognizing the public danger that over-service can create.
- When alcohol is alleged in a crash, the source of that alcohol is rarely investigated unless someone specifically asks for it.
- Accountability isn’t always limited to the driver—sometimes it begins hours earlier with the decision to pour one drink too many.
