Texas law (HB-393) is set to take effect on Sept. 1 that will require anyone convicted of intoxication manslaughter to pay child support if they kill a parent with young children in a car crash. Under the new law, drunk drivers will be required to make monthly payments until the child turns 18 or has graduated high school, whichever comes later.
