HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED BY A DRUNK PERSON WHO HAD BEEN SERVED ALCOHOL BY A SOCIAL PARTY HOST?

IF SO, YOU MAY HAVE A BASIS FOR FILING A SUCCESSFUL LEGAL COMPLAINT IN A COURT OF LAW IN TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS, as this informative blog from DC Law, a personal-injury law firm in north Austin, helpfully explains: https://www.texasjustice.com/blog/social-host-liability-in-texas/ Some key paragraphs from this helpful post by the highly-regarded "DC Law" law firm of Austin, Texas: "In 2005, Texas passed legislation that imposed liability to social hosts who provide alcohol to underage minors. As a result, § 2.02 of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code holds social hosts liable in two situations: "(a) If the host knowingly serves alcohol to minors. "(b) At the time such alcoholic beverages were provided, it was apparent to the provider that the individual being sold, served, or provided with an alcoholic beverage was obviously intoxicated to the extent that he presented a clear danger to himself and others; and the intoxication of the recipient of the alcoholic beverage proximately causes damages.
