****************************************************************************
My solution to the problem:

_Any_ vehicle, _regardless of ownership_, the driver of which is  found  to
be  in  violation  of the drunk driving laws is subject to confiscation and
sale at auction.  No exceptions.  
****************************************************************************

"No exceptions":

Fine, so now someone steals my car, goes joyriding, gets drunk, gets caught,
and my car is sold...

Fine, so now I'm stationed overseas, my family is here, my brother-in-law 
uses my car without me knowing it, leaves a party, etc...

Fine, so now someone rents a car, etc...



Under Texas law, the OWNER of a vehicle is liable for any and all damages 
caused by any driver of the vehicle, if operated with the owner's permission --
all it would take would be one court case to show that this included DWI as 
well as "damages."  Please note that "with the owner's permission" part.
That's important...
