Round Rock police investigation described as preliminary; a man has been charged with intoxication manslaughter

A two-vehicle crash around 6 a.m. on Sunday, October 4, 2026, at South Kenney Fort Boulevard and Gattis School Road in Round Rock, Texas, left a 24-year-old woman dead. Police say an early investigation found that a 28-year-old man driving south on Kenney Fort Boulevard allegedly ran a red light and struck a car traveling east on Gattis School Road. The driver of that car died at the scene, and the man was taken to a hospital for his injuries.

According to FOX 7 Austin, citing a Round Rock Police Department press release dated October 6, the man was booked into the Williamson County Jail after hospital treatment and charged with intoxication manslaughter. CBS Austin reported that online jail records list his bond at $100,000 and described the police investigation as preliminary. Neither outlet detailed the basis for the intoxication allegation, and a charge is not a finding of guilt.

What the Law Says

Under Texas Penal Code Section 49.08, a person commits intoxication manslaughter when they operate a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated and, by reason of that intoxication, cause the death of another. This is a criminal offense prosecuted by the State, separate from any civil claim a victim’s family may bring.

Chapter 71 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code allows certain surviving family members to seek compensation when a death is caused by another’s wrongful act or negligence. Texas also applies proportionate responsibility rules, so each party’s share of fault can affect a civil claim. Families with questions can talk to Beverly Law; there is no fee unless we win.
