McKinney Vehicular Intoxication Manslaughter Attorneys

Under Texas law, vehicular manslaughter is not defined as a specific criminal offense. Instead, it occurs in any situation in which the reckless or negligent use of a motor vehicle causes the death of another individual. Vehicular manslaughter charges are possible in many different situations, including but not limited to:

• Intoxication manslaughter: If you are driving while intoxicated (DWI) and you get into an accident in which another person is killed, you could face felony charges for intoxication manslaughter, a form of vehicular manslaughter;
• Racing on a highway: It is against the law for a person to engage in racing on a Texas highway. If you are suspected of having caused the death of another person as a result of highway racing, you could face second-degree felony charges for vehicular manslaughter; and
• Driving with an invalid or suspended license: If you are found to be at fault for a fatal car accident, and you were driving on a suspended license, you could be charged with a Class A misdemeanor vehicular homicide.

The penalties associated with a vehicular homicide conviction will depend on the specific law that was allegedly violated, along with other contributing factors.
