Commentary on Audrey George, Pedro Cisneros Jr Alleged DWI Accident in Alvin
It's not my place to speculate about specific allegations against anyone, and that's certainly not why I discuss crashes like this. The reason I do so is because there are often important questions to ask which authorities don't do very often, and folks need to make sure they're getting those answers. Specifically, if alcohol turns out to be a contributing factor in an accident, investigators need to find out where that alcohol came from. Why is that?

In Texas, we have what's called dram shop law. It says that alcohol providers, such as bars or restaurants, can be liable for accidents resulting from the intoxication of someone they served if that person was obviously intoxicated at the time. Folks that have seen people barely conscious stumbling out of a bar likely saw someone who was illegally over-served. If that person then got behind the wheel and harmed themselves or others, that bar could be confronted due to their role in the events.
I certainly can't say if that applies here without seeing all of the facts. It's just that there are so many stories similar to this one in our state, and I know how helpful this information can be to the folks unfortunate enough to find themselves in such tragic situations. Hopefully all the facts surrounding this terrible event become clear sooner rather than later.
