No. In Texas, unless someone is actually killed, there is no law even requiring that the accident be reported.
The only reporting required in the case is by a treating physician who treats a gunshot wound (regardless of the claimed source). It turns out I was wrong, and if Mr Wittington were to die, the rules DO change, and he could and probably would face additional charges. "Criminally Negligent Homicide" might come into play. The reason for this is that there is no matching "Criminally Negligent Assault" or "Injury", so where there would be no crime for the injury, there might be for the death in exactly the same set of circumstances. Kind of wierd if you ask me.
