Texas Drinking and Driving

Texas has edged out California once again as the state with the most alcohol-related motor-vehicle fatalities and the highest number of fatalities with drivers over the .08% legal limit; however, the Texas drunk driving statistics have shown improvement.

In 1982, the highest number of alcohol related deaths were reported, when 2,801 of our fellow citizens died. That means the percentage of traffic fatalities that were alcohol related in 1982, was 66%! The lowest number of alcohol related deaths in Texas were reported in 2008, with 1463 deaths, meaning only 43% of the traffic fatalities were alcohol related.

For the most recent year reported, out of all traffic fatalities, 38% involved a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or higher, down from 61% in 1982. It is important to note that theTexas drunk driving statistics include data from individuals who were in an alcohol-related crash, but not driving a motor vehicle at the time. The U.S. Department of Transportation defines alcohol-related deaths as "fatalities that occur in crashes where at least one driver or non-occupant (pedestrian or bicyclist) involved in the crash had a positive Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) value."

In Texas, the first offense is a class B misdemeanor, the second offense within 10 years is a class A misdemeanor, and subsequent offenses are third degree felonies.
