So like, say, I am a mom coming home from the grocery store. My kid is crying in the back seat and I try to reach back with a cookie for them. My split second destruction makes me miss a light and I T-bone a car causing the drive to injure their head and get stitches in their eye.
I have insurance and the other driver's medical bills are paid in full plus some personal injury compensation.
However I am now convicted of a felony in Texas?
So, anybody involved in an accident where one party reports an injury, (like a sore neck or bruised arm?) all those people are now felons?

They become felonies when you leave the scene. Without that, it's just an accident.
