According to news reports, Kenneth Smith of Spring, Texas, is suing DRL & P Corp., Spring Social Club and Richard Loughridge, doing business as Papa’s on the Lake, after he says a bartender served Roath Matthew alcoholic drinks even after the man couldn’t walk or communicate effectively.
After Matthew left the bar – with Smith in the passenger seat – the intoxicated man lost control of his vehicle on McCaleb Road in Conroe, running off the road and rolling his SUV. Smith was ejected from the car during the car crash and suffered serious injuries.
