From the article:
********
Why not? Something in Texas law known as Safe Harbor, which is the only law of its kind in the nation. It says if liquor license owners take a few simple steps, they’re immune from liability for serving drunks or serving minors. What are those steps? Make sure bartenders and waitresses go through state-approved training; make sure liquor serving laws are posted at the bar, and make sure nobody encourages violation of the law.
Follow those rules, and you’re protected against lawsuits and action by the TABC.

Sounds reasonable to me. Safe harbors for bar owners make sense. Go after the driver.
A good law. The nation is too “deep pockets lawsuit” happy.
Article ALSO stated that the bar in question CONTINUED to serve this guy knowing he was drunk. Texas also has the Dram law. You find no culpability with the bar at all in this story?
What?!!!! Hold the perpetrator responsible for their own actions? Where's the money in that for the lawyers? personal responsibility ...... isn't that some how connected to the ideals liberty and freedom? Why that's some crazy idea, that. /s
