A new law in Texas requires convicted drunk drivers to pay child support if they kill a child’s parent or guardian, according to House Bill 393.
The law, which went into effect Friday, says those convicted of intoxication manslaughter must pay restitution. The offender will be expected to make those payments until the child is 18 or until the child graduates from high school, “whichever is later,” the legislation says.
Intoxication manslaughter is defined by state law as a person operating “a motor vehicle in a public place, operates an aircraft, a watercraft, or an amusement ride, or assembles a mobile amusement ride; and is intoxicated and by reason of that intoxication causes the death of another by accident or mistake.”
It’s a disease related to America Bad Syndrome, called “Texas Bad Syndrome”
To the afflicted, nothing Texas does is good.
Bro, it’s a habit that was instilled in us by Texas literally always doing the bad thing.
I’d have trouble believing I saw a unicorn if it ran by me too.
No no. They did a good thing. They just did it in a retarded way.
