Higher penalties for some repeat intoxication offenders

Texas law makes intoxication manslaughter a first-degree felony for offenders who meet two conditions. They must have a prior conviction involving intoxicated operation of a motor vehicle, aircraft, watercraft, or amusement ride, including ride assembly. They must also have been violating Texas Penal Code Chapter 51, concerning illegal entry, during the current offense. This change applies only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025; earlier offenses remain under prior law.
