Understanding Intoxication Manslaughter Cases

Killing someone in an auto accident spurred by intoxicated driving is seen as murder by prosecutors, jurors, and the public. If you’re accused of killing someone as a result of drunk driving, you’ll be treated like a murdered by the police, first responders, and, more importantly, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. Don’t panic. Our office can win these cases, and we’ve done so on multiple occasions.

If you’re charged with intoxication manslaughter in Houston, it’s essential to seek legal representation from a lawyer who can effectively argue your case. Sometimes, all it takes is an excellent lawyer with a knack for calming down of the senses – under the pretense of the legal & just requirement of the presumption of innocence.

From this foundation, an attorney can move forward in holding the prosecution accountable for proving their case against the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt.

Experienced counsel must handle intoxication Manslaughter trials, or else the defendant WILL suffer. – Jack B. Carroll

At the time in Texas history, Jack B. Carroll was the first DWI lawyer in Texas to win in a double intoxication murder trial. He is always ready to bring his wealth of knowledge and criminal law litigation experience to the table for individuals charged with serious offenses.

Jack B. Carroll: Veteran Defense Attorney

Just because you were drunk while involved in a car accident doesn’t mean you are guilty.

That is not the standard for gaining a conviction for intoxication manslaughter in the court of law.

  • The prosecution must prove that the incident was your fault for 1,
  • that you were intoxicated for 2,
  • and that your being intoxicated was the cause of the homicide for 3.

If the prosecution can’t prove all of the above within the legal standard of “reasonable doubt,” you can not be convicted of intoxication manslaughter.
