Drunken drivers who kill the parents of a child will now be required to pay child support in Texas.

Good luck collecting.

Hell, I couldn't even collect $500 to replace my fence that a drunk ran over.

No license, no insurance, third DWI, and restitution was not even a condition at the trial.

I agree with what Texas is trying to accomplish and with your post that it will be difficult to collect.
I would recommend that bonded servitude be instituted for people who fail to make timely payments. It isn't cruel or unusual, it's biblical.

If you take their license away after their first DUI...this kind of thing won't happen as much.
