At The Seiler Law Firm, we provide aggressive defense for clients facing intoxication manslaughter charges throughout Montgomery County and surrounding Texas courts.
What Is Intoxication Manslaughter?
Under Texas law, intoxication manslaughter occurs when a person is accused of causing the death of another while operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
These cases often involve:
- Fatal vehicle accidents
- Multi-vehicle crashes
- Motorcycle collisions
- Pedestrian accidents
- Commercial vehicle incidents
Because a death is involved, prosecutors and law enforcement aggressively pursue these cases from the very beginning.
Penalties for Intoxication Manslaughter in Texas
Intoxication manslaughter is generally charged as a second-degree felony in Texas. A conviction may result in:
- Significant prison time
- Large fines
- Probation in limited circumstances
- Driver’s license suspension
- Permanent felony criminal record
- Long-term impact on employment and professional licensing
The stakes are extremely high, making experienced legal representation critical.
Building a Strong Defense
An arrest is not a conviction. Every intoxication manslaughter case should be carefully reviewed and independently investigated.
Defense strategies may include:
- Challenging the legality of the traffic stop
- Examining accident reconstruction evidence
- Investigating whether intoxication actually caused the accident
- Reviewing breath or blood testing procedures
- Identifying constitutional violations or police errors
- Challenging witness statements and forensic evidence
These cases are often complex and require a defense attorney willing to thoroughly investigate every detail.
