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

[Secretary of State Liberal Hack]

This feels like a solution in search of a problem, if the drunk driver has sufficent assets then a standard civil tort law suit should financially compensate the orphan financially. If they don't then this doesn't change that you can't squeeze blood from a stone.

I don't see how this isn't a useless virtue signaling bill that distracts from real solutions. You need cops to start doing serious traffics enforcement again and actually enforce punishments for traffic offenses.
