When an alleged drunk driver causes causes an accident in Texas that results in injury the driver can be held civilly liable for their negligent behavior regardless of whether or not they may also face criminal charges. Additionally Texas dram shop law works to hold negligent restaurants or bars accountable for drunk driving accidents should a bartender or server over-serve alcohol to a patron such that the patron becomes intoxicated and then gets behind the wheel of a car. If such a chain of events may have been involved in this injury auto accident an independent investigation may be conducted that can look into whether or not other parties may have played a role in this wreck.
