# Texas Alcohol-Related Crashes by Time of Day | Attorney Brian White ![Alcohol Related Crashes by Hour and Day of the Week in Texas](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Alcohol-Related-Crashes-by-Hour-and-Day-of-the-Week-in-Texas-300x200.jpg) When do the most alcohol involved crashes occur in [Texas](https://www.texas.gov/)? We decided to visualize the data that was reported to the Texas DOT for the most recent year on file, 2017 (2018 data has not yet been completed yet). As the chart above (and table below) shows, the hour between 2am and 3am has the most crashes with 2,851 total alcohol involved crashes. Not really a surprise, but clearly we can see that the later the day gets, the greater likelihood of being involved in an accident with a drunk driver. Data like this was part of the reason that we recently gave out $7,800 in free Uber gift cards as part of our [Sober Ride Houston program](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/blog/sober-ride-houston/). Although the majority of the cases we handle involve [car accidents in Houston](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/houston-tx/car-accident-lawyer/), we want to do what we can to keep our roads safe and create awareness in order to prevent accidents and injuries. Please spread the word, it just may lead to preventing someone from driving after drinking! ## Statistics on Alcohol Involved Crashes by Time of Day in Texas | Crash Hour | Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 12am-1am | 552 | 226 | 147 | 169 | 208 | 263 | 504 | | 1am-2am | 681 | 177 | 128 | 125 | 177 | 248 | 490 | | 2am-3am | 878 | 268 | 148 | 179 | 226 | 380 | 772 | | 3am-4am | 530 | 118 | 71 | 80 | 100 | 181 | 399 | | 4am-5am | 324 | 64 | 39 | 36 | 50 | 79 | 202 | | 5am-6am | 211 | 35 | 41 | 34 | 34 | 59 | 159 | | 6am-7am | 177 | 38 | 19 | 29 | 28 | 32 | 113 | | 7am-8am | 121 | 22 | 19 | 21 | 17 | 32 | 43 | | 8am-9am | 72 | 18 | 17 | 10 | 7 | 13 | 33 | | 9am-10am | 36 | 14 | 11 | 13 | 9 | 20 | 37 | | 10am-11am | 27 | 15 | 15 | 14 | 8 | 19 | 41 | | 11am-12pm | 35 | 22 | 20 | 23 | 23 | 24 | 35 | | 12pm-1pm | 48 | 29 | 25 | 35 | 34 | 27 | 70 | | 1pm-2pm | 56 | 27 | 32 | 20 | 30 | 39 | 67 | | 2pm-3pm | 52 | 37 | 44 | 38 | 41 | 52 | 92 | | 3pm-4pm | 77 | 53 | 47 | 56 | 56 | 72 | 96 | | 4pm-5pm | 134 | 80 | 77 | 74 | 72 | 106 | 136 | | 5pm-6pm | 129 | 104 | 90 | 116 | 103 | 135 | 171 | | 6pm-7pm | 190 | 107 | 147 | 124 | 144 | 180 | 234 | | 7pm-8pm | 235 | 128 | 142 | 141 | 169 | 176 | 258 | | 8pm-9pm | 290 | 154 | 147 | 150 | 170 | 244 | 311 | | 9pm-10pm | 288 | 200 | 191 | 181 | 232 | 361 | 381 | | 10pm-11pm | 308 | 170 | 200 | 232 | 252 | 409 | 421 | | 11pm-12am | 300 | 148 | 205 | 204 | 244 | 462 | 517 | Data source: Texas Department of Transportation For a legal consultation call [(713) 500-5000](tel:+17135005000) ## Contact the Houston Car Accident Lawyers at Attorney Brian White Personal Injury Lawyers For Help Our offices Houston — Greenway/Upper Kirby 3120 Southwest Freeway, Suite 350 Houston, TX 77098 Open 24 hours daily Call [(713) 364-1466](tel:+17133641466) [Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=Attorney%20Brian%20White%20Personal%20Injury%20Lawyers%2C%203120%20Southwest%20Freeway%2C%20Suite%20350%2C%20Houston%2C%20TX%2077098) Houston — East Freeway 11811 East Freeway, Suite 630-06 Houston, TX 77029 Open 24 hours daily Call [(713) 609-1893](tel:+17136091893) [Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=Attorney%20Brian%20White%20Personal%20Injury%20Lawyers%2C%2011811%20East%20Freeway%2C%20Suite%20630-06%2C%20Houston%2C%20TX%2077029) Houston — South Loop 2600 South Loop West, Suite 293 Houston, TX 77054 Open 24 hours daily Call [(713) 281-4904](tel:+17132814904) [Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=Attorney%20Brian%20White%20Personal%20Injury%20Lawyers%2C%202600%20South%20Loop%20West%2C%20Suite%20293%2C%20Houston%2C%20TX%2077054) Houston — Katy Freeway 11511 Katy Fwy, Suite 515 Houston, TX 77079 Open 24 hours daily Call [(713) 909-7537](tel:+17139097537) [Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=Attorney%20Brian%20White%20Personal%20Injury%20Lawyers%2C%2011511%20Katy%20Fwy%2C%20Suite%20515%2C%20Houston%2C%20TX%2077079) Houston — Clear Lake 1300 Bay Area Blvd, Suite B268 Houston, TX 77058 By appointment only Call [(936) 508-2854](tel:+19365082854) [Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=Attorney%20Brian%20White%20Personal%20Injury%20Lawyers%2C%201300%20Bay%20Area%20Blvd%2C%20Suite%20B268%2C%20Houston%2C%20TX%2077058) The Woodlands 1776 Woodstead Ct, Ste. 203 The Woodlands, TX 77380 By appointment only Call [(281) 843-9777](tel:+12818439777) [Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=Attorney%20Brian%20White%20Personal%20Injury%20Lawyers%2C%201776%20Woodstead%20Ct%2C%20Ste.%20203%2C%20The%20Woodlands%2C%20TX%2077380) Champion Forest (Cypress) 4606 FM 1960 Rd W, Ste. 444 Houston, TX 77069 By appointment only Call [(281) 843-9777](tel:+12818439777) [Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=Attorney%20Brian%20White%20Personal%20Injury%20Lawyers%2C%204606%20FM%201960%20Rd%20W%2C%20Ste.%20444%2C%20Houston%2C%20TX%2077069) --- ### About the Author Brian White ![About the Author Brian White](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/brian-white-houston-personal-injury-lawyer-300x300.jpg) [Brian White](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/about/our-attorneys/brian-white/) earned his J.D. from South Texas College of Law in Houston and is licensed to practice in Texas.
