Tragedy on Loop 256: How a UPS Truck Struck Down a Civil Rights Attorney in Palestine, Texas

The evening of February 19, 2026, became a turning point for Palestine, Texas — and for the civil rights community nationwide. Elizabeth Paukstis, a 52-year-old Washington, D.C.-based civil rights attorney, was crossing South Loop 256 near South Sycamore when a UPS delivery truck traveling west struck her as she attempted to cross north. The collision occurred just before 8 p.m. Emergency crews rushed her to Palestine Regional ER, where she was later pronounced dead.

This wasn’t just another traffic accident. It was a preventable tragedy that claimed the life of a dedicated advocate who had spent her career fighting for justice — only to have her own life cut short by a system that too often prioritizes delivery schedules over human safety.

At Attorney911, we’ve seen this pattern before. Trucking companies push drivers to meet tight deadlines. Drivers, pressured by corporate schedules, take risks they shouldn’t. And innocent people pay the price. This case is a stark reminder of what happens when commercial vehicles operate without proper regard for pedestrian safety — and why Palestine families need to understand their rights when tragedy strikes on our local roads.

What Happened That Night: The Palestine Police Report

According to the Palestine Police Department’s investigation:

• Time: Approximately 7:57 p.m. on February 19, 2026
• Location: South Loop 256 near South Sycamore — a busy corridor in Palestine
• Vehicles Involved: UPS delivery truck (westbound) and pedestrian Elizabeth Paukstis (crossing north)
• Key Findings:
• The pedestrian was wearing dark clothing
• She was not in a marked crosswalk
• The UPS driver stopped and remained at the scene
• The investigation remains open

Officers noted that the pedestrian was wearing dark clothing, which may have contributed to visibility issues. However, this detail raises important questions about driver responsibility. Commercial drivers are trained to be vigilant for pedestrians at all times — not just when they’re easy to see.

The fact that the UPS driver remained at the scene is notable. In our experience at Attorney911, hit-and-run incidents are all too common in trucking accidents. When drivers stay, it preserves critical evidence and demonstrates some level of accountability.

Who Was Elizabeth Paukstis? A Civil Rights Legacy Cut Short

Elizabeth Paukstis wasn’t just another accident victim. She was a dedicated civil rights attorney with a distinguished career:

• Licensed to practice in Texas (State Bar records confirm)
• Associate with Bernabei & Kabat (per Lawyers.com profile)
• Specialized in post-conviction and civil rights litigation
• Worked on innocence and post-conviction efforts in Texas prisons
• Had been assisting incarcerated clients at nearby prison units in Tennessee Colony

Professional listings describe her as an attorney with deep experience in civil rights and post-conviction matters. A biography for the Wrongful Conviction Project states she had worked on post-conviction cases in Austin and was actively involved in innocence efforts at Tennessee Colony prison units.

What makes this tragedy particularly poignant is why she was in East Texas. Local reporting confirms she had traveled from Washington, D.C., specifically to assist incarcerated clients at the nearby prison units. She wasn’t a tourist or a casual visitor — she was here doing the difficult, often thankless work of fighting for justice behind prison walls.

Why Tennessee Colony Draws Civil Rights Attorneys to Palestine

Tennessee Colony isn’t just a place name — it’s the informal designation for a cluster of Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) units located just a few miles south of Palestine. This complex includes:

• Michael Unit
• Coffield Unit
• Beto Unit

Together, these facilities house thousands of inmates. The Tennessee Colony prison cluster frequently becomes the focus of post-conviction and innocence work because:

• Many long-term and complex cases originate from these units
• The facilities have been the subject of numerous civil rights investigations
• Attorneys often travel from other states to meet with clients
• The remote location creates unique challenges for legal representation

Civil rights attorneys like Elizabeth Paukstis regularly make the journey from major cities to Palestine and Tennessee Colony to meet with incarcerated clients. This creates a pattern we’ve observed in our practice: attorneys, often unfamiliar with local road conditions, become vulnerable when navigating Palestine’s highways after long days of legal work.

The UPS Truck: Corporate Accountability in the Spotlight

UPS — United Parcel Service — is one of the largest delivery companies in the world. With its distinctive brown trucks ubiquitous on American roads, UPS operates a massive fleet that serves every community, including Palestine.

UPS by the Numbers (Industry Context):
– Over 125,000 delivery vehicles worldwide
– More than 500,000 employees globally
– Operates in over 220 countries and territories
– Delivers approximately 24.3 million packages daily

In trucking accident cases, we at Attorney911 always look at the corporate policies behind the wheel. UPS, like other major carriers, has faced scrutiny over:

• Driver fatigue policies — Are delivery schedules realistic given hours-of-service regulations?
• Pedestrian safety training — Do drivers receive adequate instruction on navigating urban areas with foot traffic?
• Vehicle maintenance — Are delivery trucks properly inspected and maintained?
• Safety culture — Does the company prioritize on-time delivery over safety?

The fact that this accident occurred at approximately 8 p.m. raises questions about UPS’s scheduling practices. Was this driver nearing the end of a long shift? Had they been pressured to meet delivery quotas? These are the types of questions our firm investigates in every commercial vehicle accident case.

The Investigation: What Palestine Officials Are Looking For

The Palestine Police Department’s investigation remains open. According to city officials, investigators are:

• Collecting witness statements
• Reviewing any available video footage
• Analyzing the accident scene
• Examining the UPS truck’s electronic data

City officials have urged anyone with information or footage to contact the Palestine Police Department. This public appeal is crucial — in our experience, bystander video and witness accounts often provide the key evidence that determines liability.

Critical Evidence in Truck-Pedestrian Cases:
| Evidence Type | What It Can Prove |
|—————|——————–|
| Dashcam Footage | Driver’s view, speed, braking, reaction time |
| Surveillance Video | Pedestrian’s path, traffic conditions, visibility |
| Witness Statements | Sequence of events, driver behavior, pedestrian actions |
| Truck’s ECM/Black Box | Speed, brake application, throttle position |
| UPS Dispatch Records | Driver’s schedule, delivery pressure, hours worked |
| Driver Qualification File | Hiring practices, training, safety record |
| Maintenance Records | Vehicle condition, inspection history |

At Attorney911, we know that evidence in trucking cases disappears quickly. That’s why we send spoliation letters within hours of being retained — to preserve this critical data before UPS or its insurers can destroy or overwrite it.

The Legal Landscape: Holding UPS Accountable

When a commercial truck strikes a pedestrian, multiple legal theories may apply:

1. Negligence Per Se

Under Texas law, violating a safety regulation can constitute negligence per se — meaning the violation itself proves negligence. Relevant FMCSA regulations that may apply in this case include:

• 49 CFR § 392.2 — “No person shall drive a commercial motor vehicle, or cause or permit a commercial motor vehicle to be driven, unless it is in safe operating condition.”
• 49 CFR § 392.14 — “Extreme caution in the operation of a commercial motor vehicle shall be exercised when hazardous conditions… exist. Speed shall be reduced when such conditions exist.”
• 49 CFR § 392.9 — “A driver shall be deemed to be driving a commercial motor vehicle while the driver’s ability or alertness is so impaired… as to make it unsafe for him/her to begin or continue to operate the commercial motor vehicle.”

If the UPS driver violated any of these regulations, it could establish negligence per se — a powerful legal tool for holding the company accountable.

2. Respondeat Superior

This legal doctrine holds employers responsible for their employees’ actions within the scope of employment. For respondeat superior to apply:

• The driver must be an employee (not an independent contractor)
• The driver must have been acting within the scope of employment
• The negligent act must have occurred while performing job duties

Given that this was a UPS delivery truck making what appears to be a routine delivery, respondeat superior would likely apply, making UPS directly liable for the driver’s actions.

3. Negligent Hiring, Training, or Supervision

Trucking companies can be held liable for failing to properly:

• Hire qualified drivers (49 CFR § 391.11 requires thorough background checks)
• Train drivers on safety (49 CFR § 391.31-33 mandates specific training)
• Supervise driver performance (49 CFR § 390.11 requires ongoing monitoring)

If UPS failed to conduct proper background checks, provide adequate pedestrian safety training, or monitor this driver’s performance, the company could be liable for negligent hiring, training, or supervision.

4. Negligent Maintenance

Commercial vehicles must be maintained in safe operating condition. FMCSA regulations require:

• Systematic inspection, repair, and maintenance (49 CFR § 396.3)
• Driver vehicle inspection reports (49 CFR § 396.11)
• Annual inspections (49 CFR § 396.17)

If the UPS truck had defective brakes, lighting, or other safety systems, the company could be liable for negligent maintenance.

Pedestrian Rights in Texas: What Palestine Residents Need to Know

The fact that Elizabeth Paukstis was not in a marked crosswalk does not automatically absolve the UPS driver of responsibility. Under Texas law:

• Drivers must exercise due care to avoid colliding with pedestrians, regardless of whether they’re in a crosswalk (Texas Transportation Code § 552.008)
• Pedestrians have the right-of-way in marked crosswalks (Texas Transportation Code § 552.003)
• Drivers must yield to pedestrians when turning at intersections (Texas Transportation Code § 552.002)
• Due care requirement applies even when pedestrians are not in crosswalks

The key legal question will be whether the UPS driver exercised “due care” under the circumstances. Factors that will be considered include:

• Visibility conditions (was it dark? were there streetlights?)
• The pedestrian’s clothing (dark clothing vs. reflective gear)
• The driver’s speed and reaction time
• Whether the driver was distracted
• The driver’s familiarity with the area

The Hours-of-Service Factor: Was the UPS Driver Fatigued?

One of the most critical questions in this case will be whether the UPS driver was fatigued. FMCSA hours-of-service regulations are designed to prevent exactly this type of tragedy:

FMCSA Hours-of-Service Rules for Property-Carrying Drivers:
| Rule | Requirement | Violation Risk |
|——|————-|—————-|
| 11-Hour Driving Limit | Max 11 hours driving after 10 consecutive hours off duty | Driving while fatigued |
| 14-Hour On-Duty Window | Cannot drive beyond 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty | Driver exhaustion |
| 30-Minute Break | Must take 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours of driving | Impaired alertness |
| 60/70-Hour Limit | Cannot drive after 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days | Cumulative fatigue |

The accident occurred at approximately 8 p.m. — a time when many delivery drivers are nearing the end of long shifts. If the UPS driver had been on duty for more than 14 hours or had driven more than 11 hours without proper breaks, it would constitute a serious violation of federal regulations.

At Attorney911, we’ve seen countless cases where delivery companies pressure drivers to meet unrealistic schedules, leading to fatigue-related accidents. UPS, in particular, has faced criticism for its “ORION” routing system, which some drivers claim creates impossible delivery windows that encourage speeding and fatigue.

Electronic Evidence: The Key to Proving What Really Happened

In modern trucking accident cases, electronic evidence often tells the true story. For this UPS truck, critical data would include:

1. Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Data

ELDs are federally mandated devices that record:
– Driver hours of service
– Duty status (driving, on-duty not driving, off-duty)
– GPS location
– Vehicle movement

ELD data would reveal whether the UPS driver violated hours-of-service regulations and how long they had been on duty before the accident.

2. Engine Control Module (ECM) / Black Box Data

The truck’s ECM records:
– Speed before and during the accident
– Brake application (when and how hard)
– Throttle position
– Engine RPM
– Cruise control status

This data would show whether the driver was speeding, whether they attempted to brake, and how they were operating the vehicle in the moments before impact.

3. Telematics Data

Many commercial fleets use telematics systems that track:
– Real-time GPS location
– Speed patterns
– Hard braking events
– Rapid acceleration

Telematics data could reveal whether this driver had a history of aggressive driving or previous safety violations.

4. Dashcam Footage

If the UPS truck was equipped with a dashcam, the footage could show:
– The driver’s view of the road
– The pedestrian’s path
– Traffic conditions
– The driver’s reaction (or lack thereof)

The Critical Timeline:
ELD and ECM data can be overwritten in as little as 30 days. Dashcam footage is often deleted within 7-14 days. This is why Attorney911 sends spoliation letters immediately — to preserve this evidence before UPS can destroy it.

Corporate Trucking Tactics: What UPS Will Do Next

In our 25+ years of handling trucking accident cases, Attorney911 has seen how companies like UPS respond to fatal accidents:

1. Rapid Response Teams
   – UPS has dedicated accident response teams that arrive at crash scenes quickly
   – These teams are trained to protect the company’s interests, not the victim’s
   – They collect evidence, interview witnesses, and shape the narrative

2. Insurance Adjusters Contacting Family
   – UPS’s insurance company will likely reach out to the family quickly
   – They’ll offer condolences and sometimes a quick settlement
   – These early offers are almost always far below what the case is worth

3. Driver Protection
   – UPS will provide legal representation for the driver
   – The company may try to shift blame to the pedestrian
   – They’ll emphasize factors like dark clothing and lack of crosswalk use

4. Evidence Control
   – UPS will attempt to control access to the truck and its data
   – They may delay or obstruct evidence preservation
   – Without legal intervention, critical data may be lost

This is why families need their own legal team — one that knows how to counter these corporate tactics. At Attorney911, our team includes a former insurance defense attorney who understands exactly how companies like UPS operate from the inside.

The Civil Rights Connection: Why This Case Resonates Beyond Palestine

Elizabeth Paukstis’s death isn’t just a traffic accident — it’s a loss for the civil rights community. Her work on post-conviction and innocence cases directly impacted the Tennessee Colony prison units near Palestine.

The Civil Rights Implications:
– Access to Justice: Attorneys like Paukstis are essential for inmates seeking post-conviction relief
– Prison Conditions: Civil rights attorneys investigate and challenge unconstitutional prison conditions
– Innocence Work: Many wrongfully convicted individuals rely on attorneys who travel to meet them
– Systemic Reform: Civil rights litigation drives systemic changes in criminal justice

The fact that this accident occurred while Paukstis was in Palestine to assist incarcerated clients adds a layer of tragedy. It’s a reminder that our justice system depends on dedicated attorneys who are willing to travel to remote locations — often putting themselves at risk on unfamiliar roads.

Palestine’s Trucking Corridors: Why This Could Happen Here

While this tragedy occurred in Palestine, the same risks exist on Texas highways that Palestine drivers use every day. Our local trucking corridors include:

• Interstate 45 — Connects Dallas to Houston, passing near Palestine
• U.S. Highway 79 — Major east-west route through Palestine
• U.S. Highway 287 — Connects Fort Worth to Beaumont
• State Highway 19 — North-south route through East Texas
• Loop 256 — The very corridor where this accident occurred

These routes see heavy commercial traffic from:
– UPS and FedEx delivery trucks
– Walmart and Amazon logistics vehicles
– Oil and gas industry trucks
– Agricultural and timber haulers

The mix of local drivers, long-haul truckers, and delivery vehicles creates a dangerous environment where fatigue, distraction, and pedestrian vulnerability intersect.

Legal Precedents: How Courts Have Handled Similar Cases

While every case is unique, courts have consistently held trucking companies accountable in similar situations. Some relevant precedents include:

1. Le v. Farmers Texas County Mutual Insurance Co. (Texas Supreme Court, 2019)

Relevance: This case established that drivers must exercise “due care” to avoid pedestrians, even when they’re not in crosswalks. The court held that “a driver’s duty to keep a proper lookout includes the duty to see what is there to be seen.”

Application to This Case: Even though Elizabeth Paukstis was not in a marked crosswalk, the UPS driver still had a duty to see her and avoid the collision.

2. Carrier Corp. v. Burks (Texas Supreme Court, 2017)

Relevance: This case reinforced the doctrine of respondeat superior, holding employers liable for their employees’ negligent acts within the scope of employment.

Application to This Case: If the UPS driver was acting within the scope of employment (making deliveries), UPS would be directly liable for the driver’s negligence.

3. Columbia Valley Healthcare System v. Zamarron (Texas Supreme Court, 2018)

Relevance: This case addressed the admissibility of electronic evidence in personal injury cases.

Application to This Case: The ECM and ELD data from the UPS truck would likely be admissible evidence to prove speeding, fatigue, or other violations.

4. Nuclear Verdicts in Trucking Cases

Recent years have seen massive verdicts against trucking companies for similar negligence:

Application to This Case: These verdicts demonstrate that juries are willing to hold trucking companies accountable when their negligence causes death or catastrophic injury.

The Human Cost: What This Means for Palestine Families

When a truck strikes a pedestrian, the human cost extends far beyond the immediate victim. In this case:

• Elizabeth Paukstis’s Family: Lost a wife, daughter, sister, and friend
• The Civil Rights Community: Lost a dedicated advocate for justice
• The Incarcerated Clients: Lost legal representation they depended on
• The UPS Driver: Faces potential criminal charges and lifelong guilt
• The Palestine Community: Another tragic reminder of the dangers on our roads

For families in Palestine, this case should serve as a wake-up call. Trucking accidents aren’t just statistics — they’re real tragedies that devastate families and communities.

What Palestine Families Can Learn From This Tragedy

This accident offers several important lessons for local residents:

1. Pedestrian Safety on Busy Corridors

Loop 256 and other busy Palestine corridors present unique dangers for pedestrians:
– High-speed traffic mixed with local access
– Limited crosswalks and pedestrian infrastructure
– Large trucks with significant blind spots
– Drivers unfamiliar with the area

Safety Tips for Palestine Pedestrians:
– Always use marked crosswalks when available
– Wear reflective clothing when walking at night
– Make eye contact with drivers before crossing
– Avoid distractions (phones, headphones) while walking
– Be especially cautious near delivery trucks and commercial vehicles

2. The Dangers of Dark Clothing

The police report specifically noted that Elizabeth Paukstis was wearing dark clothing. While this doesn’t absolve the driver of responsibility, it highlights an important safety consideration.

Visibility Tips:
– Wear light-colored or reflective clothing at night
– Use reflective armbands or vests
– Carry a flashlight when walking in low-light conditions
– Assume drivers may not see you — make yourself visible

3. The Importance of Legal Representation After Tragedy

When a loved one is killed in a trucking accident, families face:
– Overwhelming grief and trauma
– Complex legal proceedings
– Aggressive insurance companies
– Corporate legal teams protecting the trucking company

Having experienced legal representation makes a difference. At Attorney911, we’ve seen how families who hire attorneys receive significantly higher settlements than those who try to navigate the process alone.

   – Possible charges could include criminally negligent homicide
   – The decision will depend on factors like speed, distraction, and impairment

2. Civil Lawsuit
   – Elizabeth Paukstis’s family may file a wrongful death lawsuit
   – Potential defendants include UPS and the driver
   – The lawsuit would seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages

3. Regulatory Review
   – FMCSA may investigate UPS’s safety practices
   – The agency could issue violations or impose penalties
   – UPS’s CSA scores may be affected

4. Corporate Response
   – UPS may implement new safety measures
   – The company could face public relations challenges
   – Insurance premiums may increase

5. Community Impact
   – Palestine may review pedestrian safety measures
   – Local advocacy groups may push for infrastructure improvements
   – The civil rights community may organize in Paukstis’s memory

Why This Case Matters for Palestine

This tragedy isn’t just about one accident on Loop 256. It’s about the broader safety challenges facing our community:

• Growing Truck Traffic: As Palestine grows, so does commercial traffic on our roads
• Pedestrian Infrastructure: Many of our corridors lack adequate crosswalks and lighting
• Driver Fatigue: Delivery drivers face increasing pressure to meet tight schedules
• Corporate Accountability: National carriers like UPS operate in Palestine but may not prioritize local safety

At Attorney911, we believe this case should prompt a community conversation about:
– Improving pedestrian crossings on busy corridors
– Enhancing lighting and visibility in high-risk areas
– Educating drivers about pedestrian safety
– Holding corporations accountable for safe operations
