Bad bills harm victims.

scott@texasdramshoplawyer.com (Scott Perry) — Fri, 16 May 2025 23:17:35 GMT

Insurance lobby backs bills which harm victims in Texas.

SSB 30 remains a BAD bill that harms injured Texans. These dangerous provisions are still in the bill: RETROACTIVE IMPACT ON PENDING CASES CSSB 30 applies retroactively, changing the legal rules for Texans with existing claims already in the court system. UNCONSTITUTIONAL CAPS ON FUTURE DAMAGES The bill imposes caps on future medical costs—such as life care plans—for the most catastrophically injured Texans, in violation of the Texas Constitution (Art. 3, Sec. 66). INFRINGES ON THE DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP CSSB 30 allows for the injection of prejudicial claims related to how patients choose their doctor and manage their care. RESTRICTS ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE CSSB 30 imposes burdensome restrictions and stringent coding requirements on patient care, reducing the number of providers willing or able to care for injured Texans— especially in rural and underserved communities. OVERRIDES THE RULES OF EVIDENCE The bill forces certain information into evidence, stripping judges of their discretion and limiting a party’s right to challenge credibility through cross-examination. GOVERNMENT CONTROL OVER MEDICAL CHARGES CSSB 30 ties recoverable medical costs to a government approved list and requires rigid “clean claim” forms— effectively socializing private medical billing. VIOLATES PATIENT PRIVACY RIGHTS CSSB 30 mandates disclosure of irrelevant medical records, referral details, and payment information—violating patient confidentiality

Danny Ortiz was a father of three who was killed by a drunk driver in May of 2020. The drunk driver who killed him was sentenced to only six months in a prison alcohol program.

Dallas County Judge Tina Clinton handed down a shockingly lenient sentence in an intoxication manslaughter case in which Danny Ortiz was killed. Ortiz' family had to wait for years hoping for justice only to be insulted by Judge Clinton's lenient sentence. The defendant was a man named Bryan Lee Howard who was drunk and ran a stop sign at the time of Ortiz' death. Howard repeatedly had prior arrests for DWI. Sentences like these by Judge Clinton fail to provide a deterrent to drunk driving. Out state legislature needs to address the issue of mandatory prison time for intoxication manslaughter so Judges like Tina Clinton do not have the option to hand down lenient sentences like this one.

DWI ENFORCEMENT TO INCREASE FOR LABOR DAY HOLIDAY WEEKEND

scott@texasdramshoplawyer.com (Scott Perry) — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 15:47:12 GMT

DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED ENFORCEMENT TO INCREASE FOR LABOR DAY.

TxDOT, law enforcement step up effort to curb drunk driving

New law also takes effect Sept. 1 targeting drunk drivers who kill parents of young children

As Labor Day approaches, TxDOT is reminding all Texans about the dangers of drunk driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced an increased enforcement period from Aug. 18 to Sept. 4, a press release said. Texas law enforcement agencies are among those that will increase their efforts to pull over motorists suspected of drunk driving.

“Too many people are killed on our roads each year—especially during holidays—due to impaired driving. These crashes are inexcusable and 100% preventable,” said TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams in the release. “If you spend time with friends or family and decide to drink, make the right decision and plan ahead for a sober ride by taking a rideshare, taxi, public transit or designated driver.”

The harsh reality is people continue to choose to drive after drinking. Last year, there were 345 DUI-alcohol related traffic crashes over the Labor Day holiday weekend alone, resulting in 20 fatalities and 62 serious injuries, the release said. Over the course of the year, a person was killed every 7 hours and 17 minutes in Texas because of a DUI-alcohol-related traffic crash, resulting in 1,203 people losing their lives.

The increased enforcement period comes as a new law is set to take effect on Sept. 1 that will require someone convicted of intoxication manslaughter to pay child support if they kill a parent with young children. Erin Crawford Bowers was six months old when her parents were killed by a drunk driver. She is now a married mother of two living in New Braunfels. She is sharing her story across Texas to prevent other families from experiencing the same tragedy.

Mayra Noemi Guevara killed by suspected drunk driver in Guadalupe County.

scott@texasdramshoplawyer.com (Scott Perry) — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 15:31:53 GMT

On August 12, 2023, about 9:30 p.m., Mayra Noemi Guevara was killed by a suspected drunk driver.

Mayra Noemi Guevara was killed by a suspected drunk driver at the intersection of FM 466 and FM 477 in Guadalupe County. Guevara reportedly stopped for a stop sign and then proceeded into the intersection when Ryan Aviles reportedly ran a stop sign and crashed into her. Mayra Noemi Guevara was from Seguin, Texas. She had two passengers with her who were also injured and hospitalized. Mayra Noemi Guevara was taken to Guadalupe Regional Medical Center but did not survive her injuries. The Texas Department of Public Safety investigated the crash and arrested Aviles for intoxication manslaughter, intoxication assault, no insurance and failure to appear after previously being arrested for possession of marijuana. Aviles is being held on a shockingly low bond of only $71,000.00. This type of lenience is not a deterrent to drunk driving. The legislature needs to consider new laws to set minimum bond for intoxication manslaughter at one million dollars. Mayra Noemi Guevara was only 21 years-old and had her whole life ahead of her.

Texas #5 nationwide in drunk driving fatalities

scott@texasdramshoplawyer.com (Scott Perry) — Sat, 12 Aug 2023 16:35:43 GMT

Texas ranks #5 in the nation for drunk driving fatalities.

According to recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 13,386 deaths were caused by drunk drivers nationwide in 2021. This is the largest number of drunk driving fatalities since 2005. Current laws are clearly not working.

Stiffer penalties need to be enforced against bars responsible for over-service of alcohol to their customers. The old way is simply not working and too many innocent lives are being lost to drunk driving.

Skyla Jean Cox was killed by a drunk driver on June 21, 2020. Her drunk driver received a sentence of 90 days in jail plus ten years probation.

Mashek's blood alcohol was reportedly .148, nearly twice the legal limit in Texas. Mashek was reportedly speeding before losing control of her car and crashing. Skyla Jean Cox was unfortunately killed in the crash which happened in the 1100 block of Dallas Street, east of Waco. A prosecutor was reportedly quoted as saying "our office feels that the verdict and sentence was the just and proper one." However, it appears to be the result of a plea bargain with the McClennan County District Attorney's Office. Apparently, no jury ever heard the facts of the case. There has been no report of any comment from the family of Skyla Jean Cox. This type of lenient sentence is not the type which deters drunk driving.
