Summer has officially arrived in South Texas, bringing with it family vacations, beach trips, river floating, lake days, and road trips across the Lone Star State.

You hope you’ll never need it—but if you do, you’ll be glad it’s there.
Beach Trips and Summer Travel
Thousands of Texans will head to the coast this summer to enjoy destinations like:
- Corpus Christi
- Port Aransas
- South Padre Island
- Galveston
- Rockport
- Mustang Island
Unfortunately, increased traffic also means increased risks of:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Boating accidents
If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s negligence, it is important to act quickly. Evidence can disappear, witnesses can become difficult to locate, and insurance companies often begin working immediately to protect their interests.
Shawn Brown Law helps injury victims throughout South Texas pursue the compensation they deserve.
River Floating and Summer Celebrations
Floating the Frio River, Guadalupe River, Comal River, and San Marcos River has become a South Texas summer tradition.
While these destinations offer plenty of fun, they can also lead to legal trouble when alcohol is involved.
During summer months, law enforcement agencies increase patrols in popular tourist destinations, leading to more arrests involving:
- DWI (Driving While Intoxicated)
- Public Intoxication
- Minor in Possession
- Drug Possession
- Disorderly Conduct
What may start as a fun day with friends can quickly become a serious legal matter.
Lake Days and Boating Safety
Many families spend their weekends enjoying:
- Canyon Lake
- Lake Travis
- Medina Lake
- Coastal bays and waterways
However, many people don’t realize that Texas law allows officers to arrest individuals for:
🚤 Boating While Intoxicated (BWI)
A BWI charge can carry serious consequences similar to a DWI charge, including fines, criminal penalties, and a permanent record.
Before heading out on the water, make a plan and designate a sober boat operator.
Protecting Young Adults and Minors
Summer vacation means more freedom for teenagers and young adults.
Unfortunately, summer is also one of the busiest times of year for offenses involving minors.
At Shawn Brown Law, we represent adults and have extensive experience handling cases involving individuals under the age of 18.
Common juvenile and minor-related offenses include:
- Minor in Possession (MIP)
- Alcohol-related offenses
- Drug possession

- Juvenile criminal charges
