Driving a car after drinking is a grossly negligent act that can have deadly consequences. Drunk drivers kill thousands of people every year, and Texas allows for victims to be compensated for the negligent acts of drivers. DWI law in Texas falls under penal code section 49.04. Driving while intoxicated is considered a class B misdemeanor. The legal limit in regards to blood alcohol concentration (BAC) in Texas while driving is 0.08%. Texas is considered a zero-tolerance state pertaining to underage drinking; any detectable amount (.02% BAC or greater) of alcohol in drivers under 21 is considered a crime.
In the event an alleged drunk driving accident results in injury to a person, a suspected drunk driver can be held liable for the consequences of their actions, regardless of whether criminal charges have been filed.
