San Antonio, TX (May 25, 2026) – A person was seriously injured early Sunday morning after a two-vehicle collision near the intersection of Culebra and Bandera Road in San Antonio. The wreck happened around 2:45 a.m.

What an Intoxication Assault Charge Means in Texas
In Texas, intoxication assault is a specific criminal charge that applies when a driver who is legally intoxicated causes serious bodily harm to another person. It is classified as a third-degree felony, which carries more significant legal consequences than a standard DWI charge.
Serious bodily harm, as defined under Texas law, refers to injury that creates a substantial risk of death, causes permanent disfigurement, or results in the long-term loss or impairment of a body part or organ. This distinction matters because it separates cases involving minor injuries from those where the harm caused is severe and lasting. A person convicted of intoxication assault in Texas can face prison time, fines, and a lengthy license suspension.
