.... No. No, it can't.

That's called intoxication manslaughter, and it's a 2nd degree felony.

If you are intentionally or knowingly killing someone with a car, even while drunk, that would not be classified as a DWI. It would be murder, plain and simple. If the murder falls under one of the several capital murder qualifications, THEN they can be given the death penalty.

It's a matter of intent, and driving while intoxicated pretty much presumes you don't intend to kill someone.

It may be a 2nd degree felony, but if your family has enough money, you could still get off with probation and rehab in Texas.

Oh, I agree. As I told the anon below, Texas should not be held up as an example for how to deal with DWIs or intoxication manslaughter at all. I can think of 2 separate people in my mid-sized city that killed or seriously maimed someone while DWI and got very minimal sentences. Both then went on to kill others in subsequent crashes while DWI. One killed a pedestrian (a pregnant woman) and the other went the wrong way on a highway and killed 2 women in a head-on collision.

I still don't think those people should be put to death though. They should have gotten long prison sentences after the first crashes, and it's horrible that it took more death for that to happen.

Anyway, I mostly just commented because I don't want people thinking that Texas puts everyone to death. Lets not start spreading false information and all that.
