In the state of Texas, it is required by law that a driver who gets into an accident where there are injuries or a fatality stay at the scene of the accident.  It seems unthinkable that anyone would be so callous as to hit someone and drive away.   When the person is caught they will face both criminal and civil charges along with the fines and jail time that they will also be facing.
