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; particularly around how someone became intoxicated enough to drive the wrong way on a major highway. A crash like this doesn’t begin the moment the driver turned onto the interstate. It often starts hours earlier, possibly at a bar, restaurant or other establishment where alcohol was served. That’s where Texas law starts asking deeper questions.
If the alleged drunk driver was overserved alcohol at a licensed business before getting behind the wheel, that business may bear some responsibility. Dram shop law exists for this very reason: to hold alcohol providers accountable when they serve someone who is clearly intoxicated and that person goes on to harm others. It’s not always obvious, but there may be more to this story than people realize.
The reality is, in many cases like this, the source of the alcohol goes unexamined. That’s unfortunate, because while the criminal case may address the driver’s actions, it doesn’t always get to the root of how they were in a position to cause harm in the first place. If a bar or restaurant contributed by violating Texas alcohol service laws, the victim’s family has a right to know. And they may have legal options they’ve never heard of.
Key Things to Consider:
- One of the most important but often overlooked questions in cases like this is, “Where did the driver get their alcohol?”
- The law offers tools that many people don’t know they can use.
- And a full investigation is the only way to uncover accountability that goes beyond the driver.
