EL PASO, Texas (KTSM<\/a>) \u2014 An El Paso advocacy group is demanding accountability surrounding DWI cases and underage drinking.<\/p>\n The group, called the Sober Street Movement, is petitioning for stricter enforcement of existing DUI laws, harsher penalties for offenders and greater support for the families affected by these senseless tragedies, according to the group in a news release.<\/p>\n Hope and Anchor bar is hosting the event. This comes after a 19-year-old DWI suspect was involved in a deadly crash in West El Paso, and claimed that prior to the crash, she was drinking at Hope and Anchor with her \u201cSugar Daddy.\u201d<\/p>\n DOCS: Drinks with \u2018Sugar Daddy\u2019 lead to fatal crash <\/a><\/p>\n The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has opened an investigation into the bar, but noted that the establishment has no complaints or violations on record.<\/p>\n The business released a statement following the investigation, saying that they are cooperating with the TABC and they take their responsibility as a licensed bar very seriously.<\/p>\n \u201cOur hearts go out to the Andrade family. Jaime Andrade was a member of this community and his loss is a tragedy. Hope and Anchor has been part of the El Paso community for over 16 years. We are a neighborhood bar and we take our responsibilities as a licensed establishment very seriously. It\u2019s how we have operated since our inception.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are cooperating fully with TABC and stand by our staff\u2019s training, our ID verification protocols, and our legally vetted handbooks. Fake IDs are a persistent challenge facing every licensed establishment in El Paso and across Texas, and we card every guest who appears to be under the age of 30.\u201d<\/p>\n
