Commentary:
Texas is incredibly fortunate to have a comprehensive set of liquor liability laws. What does that mean, and how does this relate to this accident? Well, Texas lawmakers saw the dangers in the irresponsible sale and service of alcohol, so they use liquor liability laws to hold bars to a higher standard. These laws made sure that a bar is not allowed to serve a person who is clearly drunk, in addition to not serving a sober person to the point of gross intoxication. If the driver of the car had come from a bar, even if if was several hours before, the bar could be liable for the damages right along side the driver. Texas knows that in order to combat drunk drivers, both the drivers and the bars that over-serve them need to be held accountable harshly and equally.
