Accident Resulting to Death
According to Texas Penal Code § 49.08, if you are intoxicated and cause a fatal accident, authorities may prosecute you for intoxication manslaughter.
Intoxication manslaughter is classified as a second-degree felony in the State of Texas. If convicted, the sentence can range from 2 to 20 years of imprisonment, along with fines of up to $10,000. If the victim is an on-duty medical worker or firefighter, the offense becomes a more serious crime with harsher punishments.
Moreover, if authorities find someone guilty of intoxication manslaughter, the subsequent standard DWI offense becomes a third-degree felony. In this circumstance, the penalties for second DWI violations are more severe than the usual Class A misdemeanors.

德州法律明说DWI致死最高判20年，没有听过99年一说，他撞死6人最高应该是120年，65年刚好比一半多一点，轻轻放下那叫什么最高处罚？而且没有规定假释限制，可能不到5年就可以驾驶出狱，继续祸害大众。红脖子州根本不尊重生命，特别是少数族裔的生命。
