Despite nationwide efforts to educate drivers about the dangers of drunk driving, some individuals still choose to get behind the wheel while intoxicated. In Texas, alcohol-impaired driving caused over 1,000 traffic deaths in 2024 or roughly 3 per day. Austin and Travis County rank among the state’s highest areas for DUI-related crashes, particularly around hotspots like 6th Street, Rainey Street, and I-35. This reckless behavior is often enabled by bars, restaurants, or stores that overserve patrons or sell to minors.
If you’ve been injured in a crash caused by a drunk driver, you have the right to pursue personal injury claims not only against the intoxicated driver but also against any establishment that provided them alcohol under the Texas Dram Shop Act.
Contact a skilled drunk driving accident attorney at Robson Law Firm to learn how Texas law applies to your case. Successful claims can recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and in wrongful death cases funeral costs and loss of family support.

It’s important to understand that you have the right to file a civil suit against an intoxicated driver with whom you were involved in an accident, even if they are already facing criminal charges for the same incident.
Regardless of the outcome of their criminal case, you or a member of your family should speak with a drunk driving accident lawyer as soon as possible about your injuries. Even if the person responsible is able to beat their criminal charges, you should not be deterred from filing a claim against them.
Many drunk driving-related personal injury claims also involve bar owners or alcohol vendors. Under the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, and the Dram Shop Act, these individuals can be held liable for the sale of alcoholic beverages both to persons who are already intoxicated and to minors. Talk to a Texas dram shop liability attorney today at Robson Law Firm if you have questions about whether or not the Dram Shop Act applies in your situation.

Texas provides two years from the crash date to file personal injury lawsuits against drunk drivers or dram shop defendants. Wrongful death claims also follow a two-year deadline from the date of death. Missing these limits permanently bars recovery, regardless of case strength.
Limited exceptions exist (minors, discovery rule for concealed dram shop evidence), but courts strictly enforce deadlines. Trucking companies, bars, and insurers often delay hoping you’ll miss the window. Contact Robson Law Firm immediately to preserve blood tests, video, and witness statements before evidence disappears.
