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: namely, where the alcohol came from. A person is gone, a family is left to pick up the pieces and the driver had reportedly been drinking before the crash. That raises questions that go far beyond the scene itself.
One of the most important, but often overlooked, questions in cases like this is, “Where did the driver get their alcohol?” Texas law doesn’t just hold impaired drivers accountable. It also allows families to explore whether an alcohol provider, like a bar or restaurant, overserved someone who was obviously intoxicated. That’s the kind of accountability most people don’t even realize exists, and in cases like this, it could make all the difference in uncovering the full picture.
Ultimately, this isn’t just about a driver or a car. It’s about the systems around them; systems that are supposed to prevent exactly this kind of outcome. If a business kept serving someone who was clearly impaired, then the law says they may share responsibility for what happened next. But it takes a deliberate investigation to bring those facts to light.
Three important things to consider:
- Texas dram shop law allows victims and their families to ask whether an alcohol provider contributed to the crash by overserving someone who was clearly intoxicated.
- Even when a driver’s drinking is confirmed, it’s not always obvious who served them or whether overservice occurred. Those answers often require deeper investigation.
- Many people don’t realize they have legal tools to explore these questions, but the law offers remedies for those willing to ask them.
