Drunk driving accidents happen all too frequently in Houston

Driving while intoxicated reduces response time and alertness, and increases the risk of collision. Often times, drunk drivers are leaving bars or outings with friends and within minutes, causes an accident that can have catastrophic results for the victim.
Drunk driving and driving while intoxicated statistics
In fact, according to the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), a drunk driver injures a person every 90 seconds in the United States, citing statistics from the National Transportation Safety Board. That adds up to almost 1,000 people injured per day. Drunk driving is an appalling act that demonstrates a lack of judgment and sheer carelessness.
In 2021, Texas had over 25,000 drunk driving crashes. In Texas, a person is killed by a drunk driver once every 8 to 9 hours. Regrettably, Texas is one of the leading states for drunk driving incidents. This is despite Texas having one some of the strictest drunk driving penalties in the country.
