What are the hit and run car accident laws in Texas?
So my friend had a party and she got drunk. She had her friend drive her and her friends home because they were drunk. He ended up hiting someone pulled over and then just drove off. The other driver called the cops and identified the guy as the driver. The cops called my friends parents because the truck is in her moms name. The cops now want her to go to the courthouse with her truck her license and the insurance but the thing is she has warrants for prvious tickets. What should she do?
She has two choices: Or she take responsibility for the tickets, OR she goes to jail for the hit & run…plus paying for the tickets anyway.
She must go to court period, running away or hiding would be very stupid, and the police would assume she was the one driving. And even if police know she was not driving she would be charged for helping the driver.
She should do as they say and take a lawyer with her.
She will be arrested sooner or later. Why make it worse.

Go to the courthouse – answer her warrants. Show the cops her insurance, registration, and license. Let them see the truck for their investigation.

Nothing she can do except clear her name of this crime. They’ll get her for the other stuff no matter what. Dude who was driving needs to be identified, he’ll be arrested.
