A twelve-year-old boy who loved Bruno Mars, who slept with a Superman teddy bear, who was just starting out in the sport of boxing his father once dreamed of — fought for nine days in a hospital bed and did not come home.

What Happened on South Service Road — and Why It Was Not an “Accident” If you are reading this page, you already know the outline of what happened. Late on the night of May 2, a 2025 Nissan Versa was traveling east on the south side of Midland, near the intersection of South Service Road and Cotton Flat Road. According to the Midland Police Department affidavit, the driver did not stop at a stop sign. The vehicle continued through the intersection at a high rate of speed, struck a curb, became airborne over a drainage retention pond, and rolled over. The passenger — 32 years old — suffered serious injuries and was taken to Midland Memorial Hospital, where he fought for fifteen days before dying on May 17. Texas Department of Public Safety toxicology results later confirmed the driver’s blood alcohol concentration was 0.143 — nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08. She has been charged with intoxication manslaughter. We are Attorney911. We are writing to you — the family, the parent, the spouse, the friend who is sitting at a kitchen table in Midland or Odessa or anywhere across the Permian Basin, trying to understand what comes next.

Midland Semi-Truck Fatal Crash: Your Legal Rights After a Construction-Zone Wrongful Death If your family lost someone in the July 4 crash at East Buttles and State in downtown Midland, you are reading this at the worst moment of your life. The person who taught generations of Midland kids to drive — who spent a career in the classroom — is gone. The police are still investigating. No one has told you who is responsible. The truck driver walked away. Your loved one did not.

We are writing this page so that when that call comes, you already know more than the person on the other end expects. Not because we have taken any action on this case — we have not.

When a Drunk Driver Kills a Passenger in Midland, Texas — Your Family’s Rights After an Intoxication Wrongful Death If you are reading this because someone you love was killed riding in a vehicle driven by someone who was intoxicated, you need to hear something before anything else: what happened was not an accident. It was a crime. And under Texas law, it is also a civil wrong — one that can carry consequences far beyond a criminal charge and a prison sentence. The person who chose to drive drunk is responsible. But so may be the bar or restaurant that kept pouring drinks into someone who was already obviously drunk. And so may be the manufacturer of the vehicle, if the roof that was supposed to protect your loved one collapsed when it should have held. You are probably hearing from an insurance adjuster. That person sounds sympathetic. They are not your friend. They are doing a job, and that job is to close your family’s claim for the smallest number the company can justify. Everything on this page is here to give you the knowledge to see that process clearly — to understand what evidence exists, how fast…
